A couple things I would do for now is get rid of the ad's and add more initial content. I think more content would convey what you are trying to do better. I know this is supposed to be user generated content, but to bootstrap some of the content up maybe have some friends write some stuff. How do you like heroku ?

Heroku is great; I've been able to forget about dealing with set-up/deployment (actually, more like never had to learn it in the first place). There have been some glitches, but that's to be expected for a beta service.

echo mk here. I'm not too sure what it is you're trying to do. Is it just a place to store lesson plans?
Also, Like ____ for _____ is evil. You should try to explain it without referencing another product.
Good luck to you!

I mostly agree with your second statement, though I'm not sure I'm convinced it's evil. "Like Flickr for video" worked out, in fact, far better than Flickr for photos.

As mentioned in a sibling comment, I've struggled with coming up with a pithy one-liner to describe the ezLearnz idea. Right now, I'm considering Textbook 2.0, although I know that there's been a bit of a backlash to Web 2.0.

Well, there's always an exception to the rule. :-)
