The time is now.

After months of working on this prototype, we finally have something to show for. It's been an on and off project; I'm at Harvard; my soul mate works full-time as one of the lead engineers at Depaul University. After this semester, I'm taking a leave of absence from school, and he'll quit his job to work full time on this startup. It might not be the best prototype, but it's a starting point, we promise we will build from it. http://www.woozai.com:8080/woozai/test.swf

This is a good joke. It's not a login screen, type in whatever rubbish you like. Then click your name and you can watch yourself if you've got a webcam. I imagine those college kids at the other end get an alert whenever someone enters and watch you cutting faces, laughing their x off.

I'm sure you understand every project have a starting point; this is ours. We have more under our sleeves.

It needs something on the front page. I think you took to heart the advice to 'cut down on the text', but perhaps went overboard:-)

Also, something that's not flash would be nice too, at the very least as a splash screen.

Click on the green circles. I'm seeing a short clip of someone (it looks like he's in the bathroom). I have no idea what this is though.

Edit: The boxes change depending on what you enter for location/interests. Type "test" in that box to see a few.

Is that a joke?

Like I mentioned, we've been busy with school and job, We just put a webcam on the site, we obviously will have more.

Thanks

Okay, I wasnt meaning offense. I was just trying to figure out whether you were joking or not... Good luck

Oh you drag the side to get something! I get it

I didn't think you offended me at all. I take critics very well. I learn from them, and adjust if it's necessary.

Thanks for all your comments.

Yeah, but seriously, it wasn't even a criticism. I just went to the page and couldn't see anything. I still don't get why that box isn't expanded in the first place.

Nice! A bit deserted though. My project is also at this stage :-)

it's a flash based chat/instant messenger with video or an online video capture and editing app.

I must say, I just love the login window.

But seriously, what are you making? A flash-based webtop? Please give us a little more information and get us excited :)
