Blogs gained popularity over previous, more fully featured, CMS because they were very easy to use. BricaBox lets you use the blog UI simplicity with far more varied content. (As elevator pitches go, though, this might a bit lengthy... To be used on buildings of at least 20 floors ;)) I always thought of BricaBox as a CMS with a blog-like UI.

Perhaps you could try a non-web metaphor?

Still think it needs to be tighter - partners, customers, investors — for better or worse, need a really tight statement (ie, organize the works information) — Ning for Content is good, but tell me as a user what that does for me, and also I dont like descriptions that utilize someone else’s brand.

it’s getting there — good luck

It bridges the gap between social graphing, content creation and individual expression. A database of content from blogs to videos and calendars. It plays to them all. Bricabox is a content hub.

One of the ways we'll approach this issue is by opening an API in the future. This will allow us to focus on popularly used and needed features, and leave the niche work to interested developers. While it seems we're trying to be all things to all people, we really do have something to offer pretty much ever level of user. I'll work on showing that in a graph of some sort.

Feature scope is definitely a tough call. Look at Basecamp -- Jason says they purposefully leave higher-end functionality out of the program and would gladly point people up the food chain. They believe they serve a very specific niche of users. Is Bricabox of that mind-set? If so, I'd like to see that top diagram with user groups or levels, in terms of difficulty and knowledge.
