I'm very confused... who are the users of your site? Actual politicians? When I click on "Backpedal", nothing happens... Are you expecting Bush/Clinton/Gore/Kerry to actually come to your site and use it?
Its apparently a silly april fools PR stunt to get exposure for a company (see excerpt from the website blow). Is HN going to be swamped with april fools nonsense?
"Backpedalify is, of course, an April Fool’s Joke. But backing up your online data is no laughing matter. Secure you online data stored in Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and more with --redacted--. Learn more about how it works."
While good for a "lol", doesn't anyone else hate April Fools day on the internet? It's nearly impossible to find a serious post. I can't take anything seriously on the internet for the next day or two.
If it's a joke - I don't actually get it. I get what backpedaling is and it's funny when politicians do it - but your description on the homepage is confusing (at least to me).
