The Yes You Can doesn't do it for me. It is confusing as for the first two blocks 'yes' and 'you' are/can be used to start the sentence of, while the third one isn't. Also when glancing at the page the slogan doesn't give you any information of what I can do. I suggest making informative headings. Also spelling events with a capitalized E is a bit weird to me -- try to emphasize it in a different way. Also - I don't know how this is for an english native american - but for me 'yes you can' makes me think of the Obama yes we can slogan, which might be a turnoff for republican visitors of your website. Furthermore, the horizontal alignment is off for those three words and text, that makes it look messy (and maybe don't center-align it, but left-align it to increase readability).
Additionally, personally I prefer social media logo's to be their original logo's so they stand out more from you design.
On the whole, I don't really like the blue color in combination with the grey/white elements, it looks kinda 2004ish or something. Lastly, I think the email signup is below the fold for 1280 resolutions, you might wanna make sure it is visible immediately for those resolutions as well.
The empty space between the logo on the left and the social icons on the right is a little awkward. Maybe you could pull the email text field and your 'get notified' button to that space. Hope that helps. Goodluck! :)
Also, it probably isn't a good idea to tie your business to a political slogan. "Yes you can" may turn off some conservative leaning potential customers.
I like the little robotic guy as your logo. However, that empty space between the logo and 'Follow us' section is distracting. Maybe put your tagline or some brief info about your service there.
The 'Yes,' 'You,' 'Can' sections are a bit disjointed. I didn't understand that it was supposed to be a phrase. I took it as blocks of information.
Also, do you take my Events from different services (i.e. Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook)? What do the different service icons mean under 'You'?
Perhaps state in bold words what you state at the end of your page: 'We believe that everyone should have a virtual assistant to which they can delegate their tasks.'
The "Events" refers to your calendar events and tasks from google tasks or any social media (Facebook events, Twitter) tools user might use on daily basis.

The description is too abstract for my taste. Of the three main points, all I really get is that you somehow organize my "Events", whatever that is. The logos above the first point give me a clue as to what "Events" are, from a technical point of view - but still doesn't give me a good idea of how that applies to my life. What events am I expected to think about and get excited? Meetings? Facebook events like parties? What do you actually DO - is it a glorified calendar with notifications?
I don't get any mental image that connects your service to my life and why it could make it awesome. It's missing an "aha - this would've been great last week when X happened" or "I could use this in two weeks when Y".
Too much explanation, not enough examples. Better yet, some images or screenshots.
Also, not a big fan of the custom "social bookmarking" icons in the top right - I think most people will completely miss them.
Reading the three main boxes, I had no idea what you were talking about.
1. "We manage your events...": Ok, so it helps me plan parties and meet-ups and stuff? Facebook, Twitter, Gmail icons: Right, these must be how I can manage invitations and attendance.
2. "Get smart and precise[d] recommendations...": Recommendations for what? Similar meet-ups I can attend? But I thought it's for planning the event, so maybe venues and catering?
3. "We can help you complete our recommendations...": That doesn't tell me anything. I still think it's like Anyvite.
Then I read the lower blurb (which is better):
"Diglig is a context-aware, virtual personal assistant and do engine."
Does "do engine" mean anything to anyone else? I have no idea.
"Diglig manages your events at one centralized location and anticipates which tasks you’ll need to complete before your next event."
My idea from before was reinforced: I have tasks like "book venue", "order catering", "create seating chart", and you'll help me with those.
"Diglig then assists you in doing our recommendations, whether it is booking a flight & hotel for your next meeting, making a dinner reservations or getting a gift for that special someone."
Hmm. This is the first time I feel like it's not about planning a single event. So maybe it's attaching tasks to the events in my calendar. Can I suggest you use a word like "appointment", because "event" sounds large and once-off.
"At Diglig we believe that everyone should have a virtual assistant to which they can delegate their tasks."
Oh, I can delegate my tasks. So now it sounds like not just an app, but a service with real people as assistants (where "virtual" means "not in person", NOT "digital"). But I have no idea if this interpretation is correct, as it's hard to get a consistent description of what you're trying to do.
So what DO you do? Then I can help with some wording, if you like.
Was I the only one that tried to click on the empty space between the logo and the social icons? I read "engine" on the title and figured that had to be the search box.
1. name (diglig) means nothing to me, even sounds stupid.
2. 'your do engine' below the diglig using small and not pleasant font
3. I had to read it 3 times to really understand what you are doing
4. Too much gifs, text and colors. You have to keep it KISS
5. The follow us appears twice (where logo and below gifs)
6. Why Email* ?
7. bottom links do not work
Bottom line- Unless you asked me to review- In real life i would not stayed their more then few seconds.

We will update the landing page soon.
