  1. IMPORTANT: Please use our current homepage (www.ajungo.com) AND ALSO the 2 proposed landing page screenshots at the top of our Flickr Page (www.flickr.com/photos/ajungo) to answer the following questions:
     
    (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?
    Yes, I can see that it’s a social network for travelers and it connects to main networking sites to help people to build their travel network more easily.
    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?
    Yes. It is clearer, more quickly because “Ajungo helps you build and discover social connections when you travel” is the first thing I see. I really enjoy seeing the active collage. However, I think you will attract more people with the video and testimonials. Visitors probably won’t realize that they are missing something.
    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?
    Definitely the proposed landing page. The testimonial could prove very helpful; it would enable a visitor to picture themselves making meaningful connections in foreign countries. (Are the testimonials rotating?) Having “Ajungo helps you build and discover social connections when you travel” on top definitely helps me to know more quickly what the site is about.
    I was going to state that I really appreciated the way the cities are listed on the current page. And I thought the links would be taking me to information about the cities, rather than what it does provide.
    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?
    That’s an interesting question. I would say the current home page, because I can see smiling faces and interaction between people.
    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?
    Another good question. I would have to say the current page. Why? Because of the balloons in the collage. I see a photo of a specific place, it looks interesting and as though people are having a great time and, therefore, I want to know more about it.
    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    I believe this provides sufficient information. And I would use the real buttons with “Like Us” on Facebook, “Follow Us on Twitter,” so you are using the terms that everyone is accustomed to. Even just the buttons seem to be sufficient for most sites. As it is, it gives a feeling that you are not really familiar with these networks.
    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    No more than the current page. And I really don’t believe you need all that information about the different sites. Two years ago, you might have, but not today. And all that information is taking up a great deal of real estate.
    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one
    No.
    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?
    The proposed page.
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?
    Unless the site is well-known or has been highly recommended, I do want information before joining.
    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?
    Yes. I’ve never heard the term “trip canvas” before, so I have to stop and think, “What does that mean?”
    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?
    Is there a more widely known term that “trip canvas” that you could use? That is the only thought I have.
    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?
    Definitely. Also, brief is better.
    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    If you use the information “Ajungo helps you build and discover social connections when you travel” on top, you really could shorten it to a tagline: “Build and discover social connections when you travel.” Ajungo is right below it, so it will not get missed and visitors are more interested in what the site can do for them, then what it’s called. (I’m sorry and it is true.)
    It is unfortunate that there is only room for so much, because I think there are excellent features on both. However, if you let go of all the information about Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. and just put their buttons, do you think there might then be a way to have part of the collage active?

  2. (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?
    I think so. It looks like a niche social networking site for people who like travel.
     
    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?
    Yes.
     
    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?
    I think your proposed landing page is more immediately informative because it moves your tagline and intro copy to the top of the page. Your current home page places this below the fold, which means I don’t really understand what your site is about until I scroll down. On the other hand, your proposed landing page eliminates the three selling points currently at the bottom of your home page. So even though I understand what your site is about more quickly when I look at the proposed page, I don’t understand it as fully. Presumably, your new video will basically replace those three selling points, but not everyone will take the time to watch a video. I’d recommend that you implement the new landing page but also keep the three selling points that you currently have below the fold.
     
    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?
    I actually think your current page is more welcoming simply because of the interactive collage and your feeds of recently completed profiles and recently posted trips. It seems that your goal is to shorten the home page by eliminating most of this stuff and replacing it with testimonials. To be honest, I don’t put a lot of faith in testimonials on sites like this. Indeed I’m more convinced that a social networking site is useful when I see people participating in it. So I don’t think you’re doing yourself any favors by scrapping the interactive wall and various feeds. You don’t have to keep the wall, and the feeds could be shorter, but I still think it would behoove you to maintain some kind of display of recent user activity. This demonstrates that your site is active and popular.
     
    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?
    Maybe the new landing page. I feel like your current home page has more to look at, so my first instinct might be to click on the pictures in the collage or the “Recent Trips Posted to the Canvas” section. As far as I can tell, the proposed home page offers nothing to do other than search a destination or watch the video, so I might be more likely to search a destination on the new page.
     
    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    No, but that’s just because I’m extremely cautious about my online identity. I don’t like to make myself easy to track. But, again, that’s just me. If I wasn’t so cautious, I could see myself linking up my Facebook account to this. You certainly offer a lot of options for integrating various social platforms.


    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    You know, I think your current home page might be a little more successful at this because you can see that other people have signed up through Facebook and other social networks when you scroll over their photos in the interactive collage. It helps me trust your site when I know that other people are linking up their social media accounts.
     
    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one
    As I said, I think your current home page does a somewhat better job of this.
     
    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?
    I like your proposed home page somewhat better because it has a neater, shorter look. That makes it more visually appealing. However, as I said, I would keep either the interactive wall and/or a short list of recent user activity to demonstrate that your site is popular. I would also keep the three selling points below the fold.
     
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?
    I always prefer to investigate a site before I join. I never join a site blind. So I like that you have a landing page.
     
    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?
    Yes. And I should mention that I like how you take a moment to reassure users that you never post any info to their social media profiles without their permission. That’s very important because a site like this definitely raises privacy concerns. If you didn’t state that right up front, there’s no way I’d risk linking up another social media account.
     
    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?
    N/A
     
    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?
    I like to have the option of viewing an intro and/or tutorial video, yes. My first choice is to have both written and video help available to me.
     
    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    Current home page: Feels sort of lacking in color. Maybe you’re trying to mimic the design of Facebook with the simple blue and white, but this is a travel network, and travel suggests lush color to me. I’m not a big fan of the black and white interactive wall. I’d like to see those pics in color.
     
    Proposed landing page: I like that it’s shorter. I like the video. I like that you’ve moved your tagline to the top. I don’t like that I can’t see your three selling points anywhere because now I have to watch the video to find out what your site offers, whether I want to or not. The new page, unfortunately, doesn’t improve on the dull, gray color scheme of the current home page. Again, the pics on the wall should be in color.
     
    Both pages: Because you put the search feature front and center in both versions, it’s clear that what you really want me to do first is search for a destination. However, I can’t do that without giving you my email, which means that I effectively have to sign up to test it out. Why is this? To tell you the truth, I always find it a little off-putting when I arrive at a site and see a big sign-up button or search feature or whatnot shoved in my face. Yes, I want it to be visible, but I don’t want to feel like I have to jump right in immediately. I want to be able to look around first. Ideally, I would like it if you got rid of the big circular search feature and just put a rectangular search bar under the wall. Still clearly visible but not blocking the rest of the screen.

  3. IMPORTANT: Please use our current homepage (www.ajungo.com) AND ALSO the 2 proposed landing page screenshots at the top of our Flickr Page (www.flickr.com/photos/ajungo) to answer the following questions:

    (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?

    Social networking for travelers

    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?

    It is very clear through the wording “Ajungo helps you build and discover social connections when you travel” across the top.

    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?

    Your proposed landing page is more clear on what this site’s intended use is.

    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?

    I like the proposed landing page because it has the quote from a user on the right side and the movie intro on the other. It looks professional, smart and inviting.

    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?

    Actually, I would use either the proposed landing page or the home page equally. Both are clear and concise and make you want to try that cool search sphere in the middle.

    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?

    When I find something I think is worth sharing, I do so on all of the above social networks. The home page is adequate for linking to my networks.

    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?

    I have to say “Yes” to this one as well. The overall presentation of the proposed landing page makes you want to share it before you even use it.

    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one?

    I personally think the proposed landing page is more likely to get more network linking than the home page due to the video.

    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?

    Both pages are equally appealing and unique mostly because of that cool search sphere. However, what will appeal to the largest amount of people is the proposed landing page in my opinion because people love to see videos, love travel and that little review tidbit is awesome.

    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?

    I am a jump right in their kind of person, however, I am not sure all users are like that.I think in this case, the proposed landing page will be more effective for your purposes.

    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?

    I like how it responds and looks. For me, it is pretty self-explanatory.

    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?

    I don’t think I would change anything at this point.

    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?

    I do to a certain extent. Most people have short attention spans, so if you do plan to do this make sure they are short. People are more likely to go through several short tutorials than a few longer ones. Just a thought.

    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!

    I think the overall, look, feel and response of this website it ideal for its purpose.

  4. (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?

    When you first view the page it looks like a travel site. Where you can peruse different destinations and accommodations etc. But when you pan down and read the verbiage you identify the web sites purpose. Social networking about travel.

    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?

    Yes, once you read the “Ajungo helps you build and discover social connections when you travel” you know what the sites purpose is.  I feel the homepage collage should be ACTIVE.  It is very entertaining to read other members travel experiences.  

    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?
    The proposed site.  Only because it states at the top of the page the purpose of the site.
    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?

    The proposed site. But I still like the hope page site being active.
    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?

    The proposed site. The video adds immediate interest to travel. Seeking a new destination, watching instead of reading.
    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?

    Not until you scroll down and read. If copyright laws allow icons of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc. to be added to the upper part of the page that would help.

    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?

    Same as 4.A, Not until you scroll down and read. If copyright laws allow icons of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc. to be added to the upper part of the page that would help.

    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one

    No. The links to the social platforms are at the bottom of the page. As suggested earlier, even small icons on the upper part of the screen would help identify and link the sites.
    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?

    The proposed page.  The video adds excitement. I still like the active collages though.
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?

    I prefer some information to tell me what the site can do for me. Not too much that I am overwhelmed, but enough to want to make me explore the site.
    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?

    Not until I read that the site is geared towards social networking about travel. The directions are simple, but at first glance it looks like you are searching travel destinations to peruse or book travel.

    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?

    Add icons of Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc. to the upper part of the page.
    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?

    Typically no, I rather read. To me it is quicker and I don’t have to wait through the needless video. The video in the proposed page is an attractive feature, but the info must be fresh and enlightening.
    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    I like the site and the idea in general.  A more visible link to the social networking sites would help identify the purpose of the site. I love the collage of people and the links to their information.
     

  5. (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?
    As i have seen, your main purpose is to connect people who are going to visit a certain city, or are already there. They can share their interests about that city, share any media regarding that trip, or even arrange a meeting there.

    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?
    It depends very much on that video introduction and the quality of testimonials, although i think it would be better than the home page collage (for this maybe it would be better an own page)

    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?
    Although i didn’t see the introduction video and the testimonials, i think this way would fit better for you. A 1 minute video in the most cases is better than 1000 words. Also it seems for me better that your slogan is appearing at the top of the page

    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?
    A nice video seems to me more friendly, but on the other side, the testimonials for me sometimes are artificial. I think it needs to take care on this.

    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?
    on the current landing page the home page collage seemed for me interesting, i wanted to browse the users’ images about the certain trips, but it was a little bit annoying, that by clicking on them, there wasn’t happening anything.

    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    yes, it is enough i think. maybe a text like “You can link up multiple social platforms:” would be good to place above the icons.

    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    the current one is ok i think. Here i think it is useless to describe which social media platform for what it is good for as everybody knows it

    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one
    As i described above, the first one suits better for me.


    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?
    If i have to say one, the proposed one is better i think. Only that both have pros and cos, so i think a mixed version would be the best
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?
    i prefer to find out more, to see screenshots, to view a presentation video where i can view how the system looks like, how the system works exactly. i don’t like to create another account just to try something. maybe a demo account is also a nice idea
    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?
    in case of introduction video i think not really, but even if this is not existing, less text and more illustrations would fit better

    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?
    make them with less text and more illustrations – and maybe a link to the “how it works” page would be also needed

    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?
    yes, especially when there are a lot of illustrations in it and it is dynamic – not just “someone who is speaking alone, a lot”

    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    there was nothing asked about the bottom part of the pages. i think this should be redesigned, it should be more creative. for me it has an empty and “cheap” feeling

  6. Using Mac 10.6.8 with Safari and Firefox
    Feedback sought:

    IMPORTANT: Please use our current homepage (http://www.ajungo.com) AND ALSO the 2 proposed landing page screenshots at the top of our Flickr Page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajungo) to answer the following questions:
    (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?

    The opening page for Ajungo doesn’t tell much about what the site is about without having to scroll down. While the collage of pictures is nice and the overall displace is attractive, the first 5 seconds are spent looking at pictures without finding much information.

    In scrolling down there is more information about the site. This does well to inform the visitor that the site is a travel planning, sharing and social networking site.

    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?

    The proposed landing page looking like it will be more immediately informative then the current landing page. The top text banner clearly states the website’s aimed purpose, which is not included in the current landing page, and, combined with the video and the addition of a testimony will give something for the visitor to look at straight away instead of the photo collage without any information until the viewer scrolls down. It would be interesting to know the proposed video you plan to include.

    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?

    The proposed Landing page certainly informed me more readily and immediately as to what the site it about. I much more like the idea of having some text information readily viewable on a page then just pictures and having to scroll around
    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?

    The proposed landing page offers the promise of a better ‘welcome’ in the information aspect. Visually, while the collage is nice, and I like how a bubble with information about the pictures pop up when scrolled over, it feels empty, and the need to scroll down to find information doesn’t sell the site. If the video you plan to use is good, the proposed site will certainly be a better welcome.
    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?
    Again, the proposed page would make me want to explore more of the site. This is because of the information that is immediately presented without having to scroll down. The first impressions (those 5 to 10 seconds of looking around) of the current page had me feeling there was no information there and that the site may not be overly professional.

    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?

    I think it is more curiosity in writing a review of the site than the presentation of the site that makes me want to link up. 

    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one?
    Not being a part of any social network beyond Facebook (I know, I am limiting myself! :), no, not really.
    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?
    The proposed landing site.
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?
    I like to have some information about a site before diving in. In saying that, I want to know a bit about the site from the landing page before really exploring it. Even a good top banner (as in the proposed landing page) does much to sell a site when it is immediately viewable.
    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?

    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?
    The explanation of the three steps is straight forward. The process of how to do it needs to be better explained, but that is something that should have its own how-to tutorial or hint pop-up for.

    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?
    Having seen a fair share of video tutorials, I have mixed feelings about them. If the tutorial does more showing then telling in how to best use the site, and the person or persons making the presentation have nice voices, then yes. If it is a talking head, no. I also like the option of starting the video when I want to start it, instead of having the tutorial start automatically (so, “Click to start tutorial”)
    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    After signing up (via Facebook), a few things: In planning a trip, on the Select a Featured Destination section, you should make the question “Don’t See Your Destination?” as a title in bold in text the same size as the headers for the continents, and make slightly larger the ‘Go to you profile’ link as well.

    A bit of information on how to plan a trip. I am in an empty profile page and it took me a few minutes to find out how to start planning a trip (this, given that my planned destination was not available on the Select Destination section). In planning a trip, despite trying several variation of city, country, city & country, etc., I was not able to post my trip because I kept being told I did not select a destination. It seems that you do not have any cities from Ukraine (or Georgia) in your data bank. Was surprised to see Chisinau, Moldova though, as well as my hometown (who the heck wants to visit here unless they are going fishing???)

    I would comment more, but that would take us outside of the feedback you are currently looking for.

    Site worked flawlessly on both Safari and FireFox.

  7. (1.a) Based on our current Home Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is?
    I can see that it has something to do with travel and connecting with people who may be in the places you plan to travel. It looks a bit overwhelming and does not have a start here place. If I do not know the purpose or the use of this page and find it at top of google I would not spent too much time trying to find out as it did not grab my.
    (1.b) Based on our proposed Landing Page can you tell what Ajungo’s main purpose is (our landing page will have a video introduction and 4 user testimonials but the home page collage will be inactive)?
    Yes whenever people firsthand tell you how they enjoyed a site and explain the simplicity and purpose, it becomes easy and make you also want to have the same benefit.
    That would be of great help cause these days people do not want to figure things out for themselves. They work hard enough to make their livings to try and figure other peoples offerings out. Having short fun-driven video’s of people telling you how much this site added value to their lives and give you a short review would ease the burden rather you trying to figure it out.
    (1.c) Which one better informs you of what our site does?
    The Proposed landing page is much better
    (2) Which page has a more welcoming feel?
    Both have much the same feel and look and does not look any different. The proposed landing page comes across more simplistic and self explanatory.
    (3) Does one page make you want to search a destination more? If so, which one?
    Proposed Page is easier to follow and just by a testimonial you feel to try and see if some of your friends would not show up in the same city.
    (4.a) Does our current Home Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    Cause it has a overwhelming first impression for first time users if would not work.
    There is more than enough happening on the page with pop ups and all the links,however the real purpose for wanting to link up is not very clear and make you hesitat to link up.
    (4.b) Does our proposed Landing Page entice you enough to link up multiple social platforms (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)?
    Same applies. Not sure why I should link up. If the video explains you why and how with explaining the benefits of linking up it can greatly help. I do not quite like the grey color of the link up buttons. If seems they not real
    (4.c) Does one page make you want to link up your social platforms more than the other (Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn / etc)? If so, which one
    Home page gives you much more happening and makes you feel you are part of a community. However it all depends on what the movie is like. I would say the proposed landing page has better change of me linking up.
    (5) Which page do you find more appealing overall?
    The proposed landing page have a much simpler clean feel that makes you relax. The current home page stress me out a little and I feel clustered and not knowing what’s going on with the first impressing. I would say the proposed is much more relaxed and the video is kind of doing the hard work for you by explaining thing to you. I am a man and can only focus on one thing at a time. Maybe the ladies who is much better to multi task will find the current home page better. Need to be able to know who is using your site more often.
    (6) Do you prefer a Landing Page to find our more information before joining the site? Or do you prefer to jump in head first and try the site out based on curiosity?
    The landing page would be much better as time is money and I do not like to do things without knowing why. Maybe kids are different. Who is your target market??

    (7.a) Do the 3 steps below the Ajungo sphere on the Home Page make sense?
    It is a lot of information for first time users but does explain it pretty well. However the purpose of connecting stays a mystery. Are you looking for a date, or just out of curiosity see who is in all these places. Still not sure why to connect.
    (7.b) If no, how would you propose we change that aspect?
    (8) Do you enjoy video tutorials of a website?
    For first time visits it is very helpful but can get annoying if you have been there a couple of times and the thing every time you go there automatically starts. Once you got the message you do not want it again and again
    (9) Please provide any additional comments regarding both our Home Page and proposed Landing Page to help our user experience to be enticing and user friendly!
    The home page once you know what it is about would be more interesting for future visits and it is always great to see new places and keeps you wondering if your friends is not in your city without you knowing it. The proposed landing page would be best if you keep changing the intro video of different users giving their feedback and encouraging different reasons to connect
