Yes, it's taken me (now 'us') a while to launch the new version because I had had a day job I needed to quit in order to focus on it and I really finalised everything in May.
But now we're on the way to becoming the next facebook. ;D
The team: www.criticue.com/about_us (I esp. adore the youngest member.)
Yes, a lot* of feedback, much of it very useful, for example a suggestion to use photos of people who agreed to publish their testimonials. Took some effort to email everyone etc. but I think it's well worth it.
* ...and had to earn 'credits' for the reviews just like a regular user in case you ask ;)))))
What have you written it in if it's not a secret? PHP?
I'd love to sell credits like this but this is a drawback of a 1-to-1 exchange ratio; it's fair but there's no margin you can capitalize on. But I'll think about what you said.
Thanks again.
This is what some people do anyway because they think this is the real thing.
I wouldn't want it to turn into usability testing because it would sort of defeat the purpose (i.e. quick reviews, get first impressions, improve, repeat).
I'm thinking about creating localized versions of the site with a way to choose the preferred review language. Does it sound like a good idea?
About the link... What browser do you use?
Moderating... Yes. I'll add a voting system sometime soon plus a way to flag reviews as spam. I'm too thinking about using a bayesian filter but for now, I'll stick to manual work to make sure there are no glitches. :)
What I was thinking about is showing the generated screenshot after "Start" and then giving an option to upload your own screenshot instead if the current one doesn't work well. What do you think about it?
While moderating it's not always obvious _what_ could be useful to the site's author.
Not that I managed to publish any marketable apps at that age.
