Opposed to just telling you " wow that is unique you will do well with it". 2 or 3 people with honest, legit feed back prior to going public is worth more than 50 " wow i saw it and it was great" posts. I'm guessing that you probaby asked them to post something about it, and some of these people you have done interviews for, had drinks with etc... ofcourse they going to tell you they think it is good. Most either really don't care, don't have a backbone and don't want to hurt your feelings, or really don't know enough to help provide you with good feed back (or all of the above).

With good feedback from a handfull of people who actually will help you + your own traffic is all you need to beta test something before putting an unfinished product live, and for the world to scrutinize, including potential affiliates.

Life is a learning process, now you know what to do next time.

Also if you don't hype something then your stalkers wont be hunting around trying to find it. Wait till you are out of beta to hype and people wont know about it before hand.
