The splash page is impenetrable. That kind of minimalism worked for Google because you can type in anything and get results. With your page, it took me minutes to figure out what it did and anytime I typed more than one letter, I got a confusing error about merchandise. I thought it was shopping search that couldn't find any product.
First impressions aside, I wouldn't use Zendo myself because my Firefox "Smart Bar" has better website launcher features:
- Doesn't need to be customized: remembers what pages I visit automatically
- When I type in something it doesn't recognize, it still takes me there
- Takes me to the subpage I want, not the top level splash page.

That's true. I guess I neglected since I've thinking about this a lot, and all my friend that I have spoken to already know what it's supposed to do so they haven't really been able to criticise me properly.
