Donnie: The pastel theme is in, that’s for sure. Makes me think of Easter so it can’t be a bad thing.

Beto: It’s a successful trend and it’s not uncommon for other groups to emulate or copy others marketing success. Also, like I said, it makes me yearn for it even moreso.

Adam: No problem man, it looked intriguing.

Johan: Cool man, can’t wait to see what you do with it. I’ve got a few ideas swimming around in my head, so we’ll see.

Matt:

I’m a sucker for pastel colored websites. Not sure why, but I love the soothing feel to it.

Same here, as I mentioned, makes me think of Easter. By the way, those are some great suggestions, I could see someone mistakenly thinking that they could find information on a location, even though the service itself it’s functional, as of yet.

Stefan: Hah, next time I should just ask the Great Wiki-gonzo.

Also, Flash used to be called Future Splash. Perhaps there’s a connection there…?

I made some changes to the form that should make it a little bit clearer as to what the purpose of the splash page is. I realized the same as you after noticing a whole bunch of people had tried to type in actual destinations rather than their e-mail addresses. Perhaps I got a little carried away with the theme? ;)

As for Sixtyspots, I’m looking forward to it. Adam, if I could make a suggestion, in the sign-in box, it’s not clear that you’re supposed to input your email, and the button labelled Fly Away may be confusing for some. If this site is going to cater to the mainstream, little things like that could be confusing to non-web designers. Maybe have it say put your email in the box below, instead of on the list (what list? can’t find any list.)
