contestant@csanz, thank you very much for the positive review. We have lots of ideas and it sounds like you have similar tastes.
Great feedback on the UI and stalking aspects. It's a big part of what we love.
We've already started making updates to the code and we'll release them next week. (Names on the flippers, song titles updated on song change, more robust playback, and form of leaderboard/status page). Thanks again for spending your time looking at our application.
This is interesting, another way to better organize the noise. I like the idea of branching things out, check out the company branch.com, they do that on specific topics and then you can invite people over. I think anyone starting or interested in a topic want to either be heard or be informed. I like the idea, but the visual side just made it more busy for me in my head. I think if there is a way you can start a topic and be given a bunch of related topics you can either collaborate on or just create your own, but without showing the tree (maybe). The tree should be something you can see later, like a dashboard of your ideas, thoughts and conversations... but shouldn't be used for the actual conversation / topic starter IMO... great concept.

contestantThanks. All great points!
This is pretty cool, still needs a lot of work, but perhaps if you wish to stay in this direction, you could include other logos from other companies you can draw ideas from, also popular fonts, etc. Still a LOT of polishing, but cool concept if you finish it. This could also be a cool app for kids to draw things with their friends and you can include a video chat, so moms can put their kids and they can work together on stuff...

contestantGreat advice. Yes, there is still a lot of work to do.
This looks like a killer product, I kept getting errors when trying to log on with Twitter or Facebook. Being able to join a stream that's dedicated to a topic is actually very valuable. You can even go more granular and dedicate a stream to a state or city and also different topics.... this can be a far more powerful tool than Twitter... give people the voice and also the ability to rate items inside the steam so new people can see what's most relevant and also the most popular "by the community" good stuff.

contestantThanks for the feedback and for the great new ideas! It is a pity that you get errors when login. I've just tried successfully with twitter. Could you kindly give more details on which kind of error do you get? Thanks again!
This has a lot of potential, check out storify and also circa, they are both trying to fix the problem of too much noise and trying to bring relevant stories/news to you. I think there is a need for something that focuses on gathering all news from the people you follow on twitter, facebook and linkedin and only shows the ones that really matter to you based on "topics" you are interested in. A reminder / alert thing would be interesting and also a way to comment on them and associate related news would be cool. Looking forward to seeing this polished and fully launched

contestantThanks Christian!!
I didn't know about Storify and circa!definitely will look into what they offering users, this is really helpful feedback, thank you so much!
As I'd love to hear your feedback again once it is polished and fully lunched.
I really liked this idea. When I tried it though, it didn't give me any type of suggestions, probably a good thing :) http://gitcanary.com/csanz/plumajs I really liked the design and UX, very easy to use and nice loading animation. The concept is solid, this can go very far. I got a few 404s, so I gave it a 4 on completeness

contestantAs soon as NKO is over, we'll push a fix for the 404s (and about a dozen other bugs).
I'm ecstatic that so many people 'get' our vision. Thank you for your encouragement!
It didn't work as well, but I think this could be a great product, if they polish it a bit more, giving users a way to create quick docs on the fly in a collaborate way is very useful, imagine if you could also pull from doc sources, like thank you, congrats letters, or resumes, so immediately you can start working on something with someone... nice one.

contestantThanks for your ideas :)
We were thinking about a little bit different usage. This kind of editor (CKEditor, which is based on contenteditable feature) is usually used in CMSes, Wikis, forums, etc. Sometimes many people are editing one website/part of website (like blog post). This may be a solution for them.
But it needs a lot of polishing... a lot :)
Fun app :)
I think this is probably not too different than playground.fm or other services that do realtime+social music streaming. BUT I love the UX and simplicity. It looks far more pleasing than other services, plus the "stalk a friend" feature is genius. If you can also bring back some of the Lulu goodness from back in the days (before Apple bought it and killed it) you have a HUGE win here. My favorite
