Also, hi
A phone call can always be followed by a confirmation e-mail explaining it again for archiving purposes, but it is incredibly selfish of a sender to assume that the receiver will immediately read and act on the e-mail he receives. Most of us just get too many e-mails to assume every e-mail is important -- it's usually the complete opposite anyway.
Moving this message of 'did you forget an attachment?' to that same message would result in a mixed and unpredictable result -- unpredictable because you didn't know you forgot about the attachment. You expect a confirmation message, dismiss it (meaning you don't even look at it), but instead the attachment message might have been shown there. You wouldn't have known.
Success of this device depends on the reaction speed of the owner or other Cricket users being quicker than the thief can steal it. Good challenge, but my money is on the thief ;-)
This is definitely a beautiful and useful visualisation and something we've been thinking about for a while too. We've found that in an average real estate search people very much appreciate information about the neighbourhoods they come across when finding relevant properties. The thing I love about this is -- like some others pointed out already about Rotterdam -- is that it tells a genuine story about a neighbourhoods history in a way a real estate agent wouldn't be able too.
In the US there's Trulia Hindsight built by Stamen Design which includes animation: http://hindsight.trulia.com
This is a huge loss for Weebly, as they'll never reach the author again by e-mail, even if they were giving away a million dollar.
All in all, in Weebly's case, the e-mails are just spam. They do not have any function other than screaming for attention. Might work for 'growth hacking', but doubt it will do them any good in the long run.
Wouldn't be surprised if she was right and Yahoo's current management is indeed mediocre at best, in which case all these 'weird' things she's doing might not be weird after all.
My main point of feedback would be: why would I want to meet the 'right' people in my neighbourhood? What is 'right' anyway?
It is a question you answer further down the page, but I just barely got to that point. The design mostly focuses on how you try to solve a problem when to me as a visitor I don't even know the problem I'm having.
Furthermore, I am not entirely sure what you want me to do here. I think you want me to sign-up for an invite, but the call to action to do that is down below and not clearly visible.
The "Say YO!" button near the bottom of the page looks like an illustration due to the previous content blocks and I wouldn't have expected it to be the desired call to action. Perhaps even rephrase it to just say "Request an invite" and drop the "Have ideas?" part as that just gives someone another reason not to spend 30 seconds and not to complete the process.
Add a call to action to the lightbox showing the video. Else you're asking me to close the lightbox first and then look for whatever you're trying me to do.
I would reorganize the left hand side navigation as I think it greatly takes the attention away from the main pitch.
Remove the poll. Surely number of sign-ups is a good indication of people thinking your service is going to be useful?
Remove the cat and the text below it. Nobody is going to read that.
Hope that helps a bit. Good luck!
