Just to give you some feedback. The biggest issue I have with the site is that I'm not sure if I can trust you.

How do I know my privacy is protected?

How do I know you're not a phising company trying to steal personal data by spying on screen sharing sessions?

Those are some of the questions I ask myself. And it's also the first impression I get when I look at the site. Also, I don't see a phone number anywhere on the site I can call to speak to somebody, or to even verify that you're a real company. There's also no real explanation of how the technology works, and how the tech could protect my privacy--if it in fact does.

I'm not trying to be harsh, just giving you my honest opinion. You have to find some way to make me trust you, if you want me to use your product.




The trust thing was the first thing I thought of as well.

Hopefully this doesn't come off negatively, but without any phone #, address, etc, it almost comes across as one of those splash pages for "virus scanners" that you download and gives you a virus.


Have you taken a look at the Flash screensharing functionality?

I've never actually implemented it and it seems there are some strange requirements (officialy FMS with some module only I believe,) but it would resolve the trust issue for a lot of people.

Perhaps you could try and consider adding it as a fallback or fall-forward (if that's a real word ;).


Thank you for the feedback. We wanted to get a MVP out as soon as possible so we can start getting feedback on the idea. Unfortunately, we haven't had time to add all the information about who we are and how to contact us. We will correct that in the coming weeks.
