that was very honest and forthright, i dont think it read badly, but what i do think it might do is make someone that doesn't like you try and poke holes in the site, somehow.
you know, only because people are generally spiritually stunted, but otherwise it was a very honest and nice presentation.
how about a few slides (3-4)ish about what you actually enjoy about the thing, and why you've built it in the first place?
and maybe 2-3 slides max on what you'd like to see it grow into, if you can hypothecate something that's nebulously open, yet realistic enough to have already been in your dream for this place?
it read well though, I've been a writer of various hats for the last oh, honestly since I was in grade school... it's never really stopped.. put it this way: in 4th grade, we were supposed to turn in a paragraph a week with 6-8 of our spelling words in it. I took the liberty to write a 4-6 page story every week, using all of my spelling words.. Teacher loved it. Been journaling, blogging, writing, editing things, and helping others with their writing ever since. :) even wrote a book of poetry.
anyway, nice presentation man, I dug it.
Thanks John! I take this as high praise as an unpracticed writer myself.

I imagine so too, but I don't like hiding much.

This is a great recommendation. I kind of just assumed that was obvious but you're right if this was all you knew of me you might think I wasn't incredibly optimistic.

you are most welcome Keyan, let me know if you want another lookthrough or any other help.
and yes - spot on: if this was all i knew i'd just assume you were some super creative guy in a basement that coded a nice website, and doesn't know where it's headed. :)
