Comment on TweetBracket (YC W10): An Easy Way To Share Your March Madness Picks

Comments

A little bit of a late launch (even 24h earlier would have been better), but you're not doing a real bracket, so it'll work.

That said, since they don't actually share their whole bracket, the name doesn't quite fit. Also:

* You should show the seedings of the teams so people can make a better decision. Seed is a lot more meaningful than record.

* You need to be much clearer about how the contests work

* The pictures of the HDTV and of the final four logo look grainy and bad.

* Your about page says you're based in "Norther California"

EDIT: You should really not tweet for people unless they explicitly tell you they want to. I wasn't paying attention to the little checkbox under the picking, so I sent 2 tweets and thens saw 10 min later that I had done so. Also, your default tweet wordings are pretty annoying.

EDIT2: Alright, this sucks. I decided to do some more picks, so I went back to the site. I had to log back in which was kind of annoying. Then, it started me with games I had already picked. Then I got some new ones, but pretty soon I was on games that had already started, and it gave me an error when I tried to pick them because of that. And it didn't remember that I had unchecked the "tweet this" box, so I sent some more inadvertent tweets.

I think having people pick the following day's games may work better.

Thanks for the advice!
