Hey everyone,

This is my first post here at SuN. Let me start by giving a short introduction to our project and a brief overview of our goals.

www.in480.com is our vision of the future of online dating. We`ve created and just released the first "online speed dating" system. Before we begin marketing our new website we would like to see what people think of the design, usability, etc. Any comments are greatly appreciated!

What is online speed dating?
Online speed dating is traditional speed dating brought online. Users participate in a series of 1-on-1 8 minutes chats. During this time they are able to make use of tools that help them date more effectively :

Conversation Hints: At the beginning of the chat users are provided with mutual interests to discuss. For example it may say: "Ask Ashley about Brave New World"

SelectReveal: SelectReveal is a sidebar in the chat that has your profile in it. At the start of the chat nothing is revealed, but as time goes on you may instantly reveal portions of your profile (interests, pictures, etc) to the person you are chatting with.

At the the end of the chat daters may either continue chatting for as long as they like or they may instantly move on to the next person.

We are really having trouble making our profile system easy to use so comments on that would be invaluable.

Thanks for the help!
Nathan

I have several critiques on your website. First off, the graphics theme seems to be a  very `corporate` feel, rather than something that you seem to be looking for: a feel that younger kids and people in college would seem to monger around.

Secondly, it seems that it would be very difficult to actually get into a chat. Maybe if it had more people, it would be better, but at this point, whenver, i try to join the chat, I would fail to actually get into a chat with somebody.

Thirdly, many of the links are still not working. Perhaps actually adding some links before going live would of been a very good ideas. Maybe if you change it, but you know, get it working. Bleh.
