Hello all,

I have been working on a website recently for a crazy idea I had and now wanted to get some feedback on the design, usability and whats more important if the whole idea is feasible and has potential. Basically the idea is to showcase your skills in a tag cloud (where better skills have better visibility) and then integrate it with facebook (sharing new skills with friends, etc). Here is a link to the site - link. Please note that this is an early beta, so I'm both interested in your opinion both on the current state and if the idea make sense for you and how it could be improved... Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

cheers,
Aleksei

"Try it out, you don't have to register" yet when you try to enter something it says "you have to sign in first".

And you spelt 'favourite' incorrectly.

When you enter something where? When you enter a skill there should appear a canvas with the skill you have entered and you can start playing with it. Only if you want to save the skills you will see a popup saying that you must sign in first. Do you see some other behaviour than this?

I prefer to see this info in a graph format, I wouldn't use it im afraid.

Im not to keen on the design either, I can't see it fitting into any work ive produced.

nope, exactly that. Why do I need to sign in? It says I don't have to register.

You don't have to register to try it out. Trying out here means seeing how it looks like and playing with it. Does it make sense?

I think tag clouds are ugly, confusing to users and don't add any value to a website. Find a better way to visualize that kind of data.
