Here's my honest opinion of Beepl:
- The design of the site is fantastic. I can safely say I've never seen
a site that looks as well, both in terms of artwork, appearance,
navigation etc. I did spot one or two usability glitches and spelling
mistakes... I am a bit anal when it comes to that, but I'm sure you know
that already!
- The concept and ideas are also excellent: the semantic engine; a Q&A
market; seamless integration with other sites. This kind of research
tool/experts network should be in very high demand, if it catches on.
From what I can see, the biggest challenge will be attracting enough of
a user-base to get the ball rolling. I think you need to explain to
users exactly what differentiates beepl from your competitors, like
Yahoo answers... for example on the "About Beepl" page, or maybe by
putting an article up on Wikipedia about beepl before the launch.
- I can't comment on how viable it is in terms of revenue, but I'm sure
you have the business model worked out already!
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope it's useful. I'd
better go to bed now.. early start tomorrow!
