Show HN: OpenCirclez (Feedback welcome)

Maybe explain what the site does on the first landing page — took me half-a-dozen click to make sense of it. A big “Find fun things to do near you” would be fine. I'm not sure why ‘Circles‘ are a problem, for instance, or whether you improve from them.

Same problem with location — I didn't know where I was located, but it seemed to be Manhattan; when I tried to change that, I hit the wheel of death.

To face testing, chicken-and-egg, you might want to filter your service to an area with enough density to make sense (but I'm not sure about the most obvious places where you'll find thematic competition).

No cancel button on the “Post a message if anyone want to join you”.

Biggest issue that I see so far: how do you improve things from Meetup?

Neat idea... 2 things:

1) When I change location In more options while I already have search results for manhattan (Im assuming thats default) it fails to load/is stuck in a loop.

2) The twitter bar on the right side is too far down on the side and elongates your page. I dont believe this is intentional though because it doesnt look good. (screenshot: http://pexelu.com/Untitled.png)

Using Safari 5.0.2, after clicking "Share my location" and then searching, it used Manhattan as my location, and I had to go and manually change it in the search options.

I can't figure out how to change my location from Manhattan (I'm in Australia)

what exactly are you trying to do different from other event based sites, say that Facebook and MySpace don't provide ?
