SITE REVIEW: ballroombook.com

I don't understand this. Can you make a sample mockup?I don't either. Just somehow, diamonds and ballroom go together. The ladies dresses usually have tens of hundreds of diamonds on them. Yes. That many. Good idea. I will do that.I keep them there and they go to the signup page. Maybe I can remove them.This is just a design thing - having the solid red behind the buttons. Is it distracting?Funny. Or, did you actually get to a page that showed source?It started out as an Adult TGP clone, then a youtube clone, then I added new feeds...you can pick and choose which site it "looks like"Ok, done.Good observation. I fix!They are actually not breadcrumbs - they are different feeds. Facebook has only one feed - "friends". I wanted to make different feeds based on location. The only problem so far is that all my members are from San Diego so it looks like breadcrumbs. I need more signups to get the feeds really showing how they work.This is the most useful feedback of your post - it shows that you dont understand the different feeds - which translates to "I'm not demonstrating the different feeds properly".

When you post on facebook, your friends see it. What I want, are feeds based on location. Post on Ballroom book, and everyone in the World sees, so does eveyone in your state, city and yes, your friends too.

I found that it's really hard to find new people on Facebook. To find out what people are doing, that are NOT your friends. Since facebook has only one feed - "Friends".

Thanks. It is the prototype for the next Facebook. What I learn from this, I will apply to the site that will eclipse facebook. Remember my name.

When I try to load that site on my iPhone I just get a blank page. I'm using their latest safari for the iPhone 4.


Sure...


I made that in paint...


I sure will

Ah I see. Yeah I can do that.

It's neat work man. I really like the simplicity of the site however I believe that some of the visuals could have been worked more on.

I don't know exactly how to put it but if you put your site and facebook side by side. You can feel that there are some parts of the site don't feel quite as complete.

Hope this helps.

I agree. It was rushed out. I am slowly filling in the details.

What do you think it needs first?

I really like the dancing style of the website . the salsa is there to be learn and work on . i think its a perfect website all you need to do is good marketing.

Hey there, remember me?

The header on the homepage links to itself, which is no biggie but it bugs me irrationally.

I like your two-illustration explanation of what makes ballroom book cool If it were about capoeira or one of my other interests, I'd be on there in a heartbeat.

Ok weirdy bit during registration - I fill out the registration form, it tells me I need to go to my inbox and verify the email I gave, I go to my inbox and find no email has arrived, I click on 'send email again' or whatnot, nothing arrives, I click on 'continue to site' and I am miraculously in. What's that about?

I love how the videos smoothly grow and open when you click on them.

Also, everything that Bogey said. That's some fine reviewin' up there.

oh yeah you have Serbia listed as Serbia and Montenegro, those are now two countries. don't know if you care enough though.

Also now you have a member who is not from San Diego Hope it helps in playing with the feeds. I love the idea of being able to find out what other people are doing based on interest/ location, as opposed to just following your friends.

Yes the ability to see what people are talking about I think is key - I want to see lots of stuff happening, not just what my friends are doing.

My slogan is "Facebook is all your friends of different interests, ballroombook are new friends with the same interest".

Soon, I will have social network sites/ballroombooks for:

Train buffs
police
EMT workers
entrepenuers
doctors
dentists
nudists
yoga
gothic
musicians
tattoo artists
golfers

Any other groups you think need their own social networking site?

I think doctors and dentists don't need a separate social networking site, but I may be wrong here. I'm not too keen on the differences, besides the dentist is for teeth and the doctor is for everything else...
