I'd like to see some kind of explanation on the home page about what the site is or does. First impression when I visit is its just overwhelming. All these links but I'm not sure exactly what this is. I would probably go back under normal circumstances. Also, when you first go to the home page, the first things that stand out are the google ads and the flickr images. Brings an association of spam or scams, which is probaby why I felt as described above. This is basically an aggregrator, right? Tell me how I can save time coming here or how its better than all the other aggregators out there.
