Congrats!
Some tangible examples would really help prospective visitors. I remember seeing the site before in an article on TechCrunch and thinking exactly the same. The article on TechCrunch explains what it is that you do, a lot better than your examples.
I don't want to "Get Started" in order to have to figure out how your product can help.
I'm in the need for a mobile port of my application, so I really would like to see all of the potential offerings that are out there, but CloudMine has fallen way short on being able to explain what it is that you do? </trying to be constructive criticism - so don't take it the wrong way>.
The site looks good though :)
In the meantime, there are a few examples in our other blog posts that you could take a look at. Also feel free to email us directly (team at cloudmine dot me) if you have any specific questions and I'd be glad to explain our offerings in more detail.
Point storage with radius queries are nice and all, but I'd love to find a cloud storage provider that stored polygons and took polygons as queries, and had pay only for what you use.
Someone just tweeted at us earlier about GeoJSON (http://geojson.org/) which looks pretty awesome for storing polygon data. It sparked a conversation internally about a feature like that, especially since SimpleGeo (which offered that, I believe) is gone.
That point aside, geofencing queries are coming soon. That means that instead of just giving a center point and radius in your query, you can query with a polygon defined by arbitrary points and we will return your objects that exist inside that shape. Perhaps that could hold you over for the time being?
Storing polygons is probably key - if there's a query-by-radius or bounding box I can make an enclosing circle for my query and then do my own intersection tests with my query polygon.
