mgcreedon HN new startup feedback: Taskforce - collaborative task manager

the mac app won't launch for me

mgcreedon Ask HN: I suck at marketing, can you give feedback on my startup's homepage?

I like a lot of it, but at the same time, much of it feels it's been taken (not improved upon) from the 37Signals book of design. From the sign up, to the various pricing options, the way the pricing options is arranged, through to the buttons across the site.

The video also feeds a bit "meh" i'm afraid. "Meaningful Discussion" in groups is beginning to sound very cliched.

mgcreedon Ask HN: Exclusive startup coverage TechCrunch vs Mashable?

Possibly, but going with one particular blog could very leave you only getting coverage from that one blog.

If your start-up is exciting enough, emailing them all should have them all racing to write about you first.

mgcreedon Ask HN: Exclusive startup coverage TechCrunch vs Mashable?

You don't rate ReadWriteWeb or The Next Web? Read somewhere that RWW drove more traffic to a startup's website than TC. TNW has grown a ton over the last year.

Anyway, i suggest email them all and see who bites first.

mgcreedon Rate my startup: PagerDuty.com

actually, i take that back - it did immediately remind me of a previous homepage design of theirs...not the current one though

mgcreedon Rate my startup: PagerDuty.com

Design is way too similar to the 37signals homepage...that was my initial impression. Will dig deeper into the site now.
