I really liked the page and you got me hooked with the service.

But initially I missed the point on the search for the hidden images. I searched with the magnifier but I didn't clicked the button so I was there for an entire minute just moving the mouse (congrats on that :)). I think it could be expressed more clearly what the visitor is expected to do.

About the product. Just iPhone? I guess you missed an user there. Another suggestion: being a father of a 3 month baby I miss a service were I can register my baby growing. I take a lot of photos but there is nothing out there (that I know of) that let me easily aggregate those photos into a living album. I just realized Persona could be just that with slight changes. Think about it as a possibility

Thanks zarroba!

Excellent feedback, I'll make it a little more clear what visitor is expected to do. On another note though, you not finding the hidden images for at least a minute meant the game worked ;).

We're starting with iphone, but unsure still as to what other platforms we'll expand to. You know, the usual budget problems, hiring more people, etc. To clarify, your problem with a three month old baby is already solved with Persona. Persona focuses on things that are about you that make up who you are and defines your life. Photographs are stored in "slices" of your life which can be named "Growingup" or "proudtobeafather". You can name that part of your life anything you'd like. Within those slices, you would store the photos of your baby so you can visualize he/she growing up day by day.

Welcome to Persona. It's everything you are, in pictures. (sorry, had to throw in our tagline, it just seemed like the perfect time to do it :-)).
