Grouplite - a web app from the ashes of startup failure.

Neat technology (took 23 seconds to load your home page)... From a marketing perspective, I think you should ponder what value you provide. The home page emphasizes features.

May be cliche, but when people buy a drill they don't want a drill-- they want a HOLE. When people sign up for your product they have a problem that they want to solve... What's that problem? I'd simplify your home page, focus on value statements, screenshots, and examples.

(just my 2 cents)

Its interesting that at this very moment, we're finishing up connecting contacts between users for collaboration with our startup. (The trick was to allow users to be able to own their own contact lists and information within a secure zone (for example, a company needs to own a version of an employee's personal contact info even if the person leaves), but then be able to create a link to the people or companies represented. At any point in the identity graph, information can be deemed private and only available to owners, etc.

Looks good. Doesn't work in Safari 3 on OS X 10.4.11, but it works great in Firefox.

I love this post, but not for the usual reasons. I'm not sure I understand your app or why I'd put in on my page. But I love your style, your story, and the whole idea of something rising from the ashes. I bet I'm not the only one here inspired to look at my own scrap heap and see what I can resurrect and put into one of my modern apps. Thanks for the curveball!
