Requiring me to login to test it out almost drove me away. Then I found the inspiration wall link to check it out. The immediate pop-up window asking me to register was annoying (and the facebook, twitter, and google links in said window don't work).

Good job with non-blocking javascript.

I have no idea what the icons mean on the individual dreams on the inspiration page.

If I was logged in, would there be a way for me to upvote dreams? I know it sounds silly, but if I had a dream to lose weight, I would appreciate the encouragement, and if I thought someone had a cool dream, I would like to encourage them as well. And if I were looking for a dream to have, I could go and check out the most popular dreams for inspiration.

Are you doing an natural language processing of these dreams to serve up target ads? Many of these dreams seem like the perfect place for a wikihow link.

You seem to have alot of travel dreams. When I post a dream, can I categorize or tag it? Furthermore, could drimmit suggest people with similar dreams? Maybe the two people on the inspiration page who both want to go to california could get together. Or the ukulele players could follow each other.

On the inspiration page, I had to scroll a long way down to find someone who had actually made progress on their dream. I feel the dreams that are happening should be moved to the top of the page, so when I visit the inspiration page, I actually get inspired by people who are accomplishing their dreams using the site. (And thus want to use it myself). The same goes for the dreams that are marked done.

I doubt anyone else will notice this, but I think that Brian Funshine is a fake account created to comment on everything and has a girl's (or feminine looking picture) so people will follow the account.

Profile pages seem to be throwing out 500 errors: http://www.drimmit.com/public/profile.php?username=ayhoung

Great facebook page. I'll bet you hate Luke LeFerve.

The color and design are nice. Now that you have a small user base, I would focus on expanding it by showing off how people are using the service to accomplish their dreams.
