We are all about showing the real thing — working on one-click demo feature right now.

It seems a little strange to me to promote a launch even at a minor scale with no screenshots or video at all showing exactly what the product is.

The blog consists of one entry. On the front page, the first "feature" is putting your team "in perspective" as they are "checking in and out" - of where? For what purpose?

Share, discuss, plan - in what format? Chat, stacked posts, threaded view a la yammer or the like? This is very vague!

Yes and what if you have more than twenty users?

My company is 22 people. I think we're out of luck.

Sorry that it throws you away, but currently we are looking for users who are ready to fill five inputs and click that green button.

We decided against screenshots because shortly will be adding a quick link to demo. It is a minor promotion to get as much criticism as we can get before going beyond open beta.

But you won't get criticism without showing people the app. Heck, I won't sign up for services that only have little explainer videos instead of screenshots and text, there's no way I'm filling out a form to figure out whether or not I care about this.
