Congratulations on the launch! I think the concept is great, but your site is pretty bare. I would suggest adding more info to get people through the conversion funnel. How it works, case studies, who the influential people are, etc.
Most probably they will add that once they get the initial feedback.
I tried Sunnytrail about 6mths ago. At that time it appeared to be focussed on funnel and cohort analysis (the latter being why I checked it as at the time neither MixPanel nor Kissmetrics had it).
So this looks like a bit of a pivot?
This seems to be a "feature" existing in other products such as intercom. Not sure I'd want _another_ user tracker just for this purpose.

This is just the beginning. You can follow us to see further development.
I actually found it pretty easy to understand, but it wasn't clear that it was the Klout score. I half thought you mined a ton of celeb emails and were checking them against what I send.
This is awesome though! Great idea! I'm already up and using it!

The service was just launched and is looking for feedback.
Can you explain how this works? I couldn't find any info on your page.
You have to put a javascript on your registration page and then you see all your new signups in a realtime dashboard with added social context, like the screenshot on the home page. You also get email alerts whenever someone who is really influential signs up.
There is also the option of calling a REST api to send us new signups.

How do you tell who is influential? How can you map email addresses to Twitter accounts, or other social media accounts? Most influential people don't really share it to the public.
Anyway, I know this site was just put up to garner demand, and you probably haven't implemented anything. If this really works, I'd be willing to pay say $30/month for it.

We're using Klout to determine influence.
It works, you can go ahead and give it a try. After registration, you will be redirected to a friendly integration wizard.

The chat feature is pretty sweet for a new service. That's a nice job on the part of the founders doing the extra work to help people out. Nice job guys, and good luck!
Yeah I thought it was, I ended up at SnapEngage because of it and It seems like a great customer service tool. Definitely seems like something I would love to have when we go live. Customers first!
Do you really need to use CAPTCHA? It increases the bounce rate needlessly in most cases.
Interesting.
Is this opt in on their part or are you doing some form of online stalking? I'm curious how it works the site has a very clean design. Good job.
I'm curious as to how it defines identity. If handled through email or domain, I'm sure many influencers have non-public spam-catcher gmails; if done by name alone, there will be false positives due to matching names or pranks.
If I met the threshold for an influential person, this would probably make me more than a little uncomfortable, and I'd start signing up to services with fake info.

It's through email.
If you use a fake email to signup, then you probably aren't that interested in that service. We curate signups, so that only the relevant ones are displayed on the Sunnytrail dashboard.
If there's no info about an email address, then we display info about the domain.

It's not really clear when you're providing the e-mail address that it's going to be used as an index for you later. That might need to be better stated.
It's not opt in. We add context to a user based on public information about him available online. Being able to opt in is an interesting idea.
