Hi Everyone, This is the first time that I've submitted anything here, but I lurk and read HN. My partner Ramiro and I just launched a social network for video fanatics and we wd really love your feedback:

Looks very nice! Would be nice to see how many other people (through MiBuzz) are watching the same video...

That's a good idea, thanks!

Some meta-advice:

Don't make me click through to see what you're talking about. "Please check our project" is pretty much content-free, and unlikely to get many people taking you up on it.

Then you make me cut-n-copy your actual link. The least you could've done was make it clickable by adding a comment. Look, here, I've done it for you:

http://www.mibuzz.tv

Then there's an annoying, auto-starting video. It might be great, but having opened it in a separate tab, I then had to go find it to shut it down.

It emphasises what your product does, it doesn't emphasise the problem it solves. Concentrate not on the many things you do, but on what pain your user has that you can take away.

Finally, there is no "tutorial tab".

On the plus side, the video is genuinely slick, the design looks OK (but I haven't tried to use it, so usability is unknown to me) and it probably does have an audience.

But it's not me.

These are my instant reactions, and they are probably worth what you just paid for them.

Thanks for the report, you gave us some interesting comments in there! There should be a tutorial tab, below the main screen. Probably as it is now it's not enough visible..

Cool!

Just a suggestion – it should be Show HN not Ask HN :)
