Simplistic messaging site. Trying to cash in on Valentine's Day Rush.

One last idea (for now): You should send email notifications when someone leaves a comment on your page.

Yes, we too are trying to figure out best way to establish relationship between users, either through email or follow/unfollow. Thanks for the idea addition.

You should show users some examples. Don't make me sign up on your site just to see what it's about.

here is one - http://wordify.me/u/wordifyme

I still don't get it? you tied three words to an email account? for what? Where does it go? What's the use case?

A user creates an account and he gets a random url. He shares it with people he would like to hear from and those people can comment on his profile under their real names or aliases.

The random urls are there to make sure someone doesn't guess your profile and trash it with anon messages.

Your examples should be real life scenarios. Post as a user would about his friend, or a girlfriend. Otherwise, you're not showing the user the value of your application to him. Just how it works.

How did you prefill my Facebook information before I authorized with Facebook?

cookies...

I didn't. Facebook did. The register plugin is a Facebook plugin and it pre-fills your data if you are logged in to FB.

You can clear up the form if you don't want to carry over your FB credentials. There is a little cross on the right to where your name is filled - click that and your fb credentials will be cleared.

I like the site. It looks like a more complete version of 3words.me

Thanks, but it is kinda half baked(still writing code) and being complete often means user misses the use case(boggled with features).

I am doing a small comics to convey the site and reducing the number of bullets on landing page.

Your dates kept appearing as "NaN Feb" for me, on your "About" wordify page (which was the only example I could find without registering/signing in). Minor bug, just a heads up :)

Thanks for the heads up. Looking into it.

Copy nit: "Simplistic" is strictly a bad thing.
