a) You have way to many features for the stage your at. It lacks clarity but also, for those features to be useful and worth paying for you'd have to spend tons of time developing them. That time is better spent finding out who your market is and what they want, before making that investment.
b) I've read about many VC-backed companies that tried to do e-learning and failed. (Selling to schools is very difficult)
c) I've recently come across more online classroom supplemental sites (with social features) than I can count and many of them had a narrower feature set and a clear market in mind.
Edit: I just noticed your b2b section (http://corp.supercoolschool.com/index.php) this makes a lot more sense, enterprise 2.0 is a growing industry. I'd narrow your focus as much as possible because b2b sales are tough as it is (but more rewarding then consumer).
a) you're problably right - we're still figuring out what is important and what not for our users
b)true - but what does that have to do with us? ;)
c)same as b
Regarding the b2b market: we actually started in the enterprise space and have sold Supercool School to large tech companies in the valley (yeah - even with our name ;)) although its very profitable it is a slow moving space and we thought it would be exciting (and rewarding) to open up to the general public and allow everyone to create their own Supercool School. For the first week we've seen some very good results with over 10 schools launched! But we are well aware that we are doing something completely uproven and new...
Congratulations on making headway in the "enterprise space". With that in mind, could you not approach a few of them and ask them to write testimonials to be used on your site?
Already in the process of getting this done :) btw - it seems like you're an edu entrepreneur yourself! would love to chat with you if you're interested - just ping me at steli at supercoolschool dot com
