I don't like that you show accounts for Twitter and Google and then just say they aren't available...I understand the reasoning behind it but just show the images and don't provide links.

EDIT: On a 13" MBP the "Have an invite code" link is below the fold and was difficult to find at first.

I initially put that in there to measure (using mixpanel) how many people wanted those, to avoid overbuilding. Learned pretty quickly that people want a Twitter auth option. While we build it, wanted to at least acknowledge that they are on their way.

Did you have the same intention by including the link to the non-existing 'global activity' in the top nav? My guess is that everyone will click that one if for no reason other than the fact that this is a new toy - we're going to click everything.

In general I think you've got a great idea with this product. Solid alpha/beta. Keep up the good work!

Re 13" MBP: Good point. The UI itself will probably look a bit tight as well.
