Spend a few seconds on our homepage. Is it immediately clear what the site is about.
-I spent like 10 seconds on the site and basing from the welcome page. I didn’t quite get what the site is all about.
What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
-I like the whole website itself. I need to be honest, I was amazed with the welcome page. The colors are good it appears to be very professional to me. I also like that you have connected your site to social networking sites like facebook and twitter. I also like that you have facebook connect to login.
What do you think of the sign up process?
-I do not actually get what this question is all about. I mean, if I understand how your website works correctly. You need to have social networking accounts so that you will be able to use the website. In that case, since I do have facebook account, I just clicked on the “Login/Sign-up” and it just asked me to allow the application to my facebook profile. For testing purposes I logged out to my facebook and again clicked on the “Login/Sign up” button hoping to get redirected to a sign up page but it didn’t. It just gave me the facebook login window. If that is really how it works then the sign up process is pretty easy since it’ll redirect you to the correct page and pinpoint what to do.
Are you encouraged to sign up for an account? If not, why?
-If you are referring to other social networking sites then I’d say yes. From what I understand on the site. It actually calculates how active you are on those sites. In my case in facebook. I’d say I’m not really active on facebook since I do have a blog of my own. It gave me a low score of course. So yeah, for the sake of knowing how useful I am on those sites. I’d give my yes to this question.

-Creative/Constructive Criticism and Comments:
-I don’t see anything wrong on the site so I’ll proceed with the positive feedbacks.
-I really like the homepage. Although it took me a while to realize what the site is all about. Everything is written there and you’ll be able to know everything about the site and the company before even signing up. That gives me the impression that the company is very confident with their service which is really a good part. Very impressive. Second thing I like on the site are the links. They are almost complete. The only thing that I didn’t see on the links is “Contact Us” which is I believe is really important on each and every site. Specially those that provides services. I would like to commend the other links. “About the site” and “FAQs” those are really important and it is a good thing that you didn’t missed putting those and emphasizing those at the bottom of the page. In my case I didn’t have to look around for me to know more about the sites functionality. Another thing, the title “MY WEB CAREER BETA” is so direct, it gives me the correct expectation that there might be some malfunctions on the site, and the site itself might disappear sooner or later, I like it. Lastly, the concept itself is very impressive. I’m really amaze, I also believe that online reputation data is important nowadays considering the fact that 95% of people are using the internet or social networking sites to be specific. With your service we will be able to keep track and manage our online reputation for our own good. My last suggestion is maybe link your site to other social networking sites, blogs, wordpress, or even youtube so that user will really be able to keep track of almost all of his/her online activities. That’ll be awesome. That’s all from me. Now good luck to you!.
