for a moment, the animated glitter gif made me wonder if this was to become the next myspace. but the awesome stuff ppl have been doing with it fortunately proved me wrong. :)
Great idea and execution. Some feedback...I thought from the headline and the name overlap that salon.com was involved until a minute or two into the video.
Wordpress has a lot to learn from these guys. I've been wanting drag and drop images to Wordpress posts for years now, for example. Or for Wordpress to at least recognize the width of the text column and automatically resize a larger image to scale down to that size.
You know, though I can't talk about the quality of the product, I love the concept. What I don't like one bit is the completely unnecessary use of an F-bomb on the title.
I started a test page, and perhaps its my use of Chrome, or the font size, but when I add a text box by doubleclick, the box is immediately obscured by a sizing menu. There seems no way to actually add text without clicking on a size much bigger than the menu and then clicking to the right of it.
This order of operations seems backwards. I would much prefer to type in my text, and then choose to resize it, once I know how big it looks ... not size a blank box as the only way to add text.
