I do have a few members who share ~5 links per day on the site including myself. In a given day the site receives ~20 new links. Most of this is just now starting to gain momentum as Feb 1st is when the site launched with a new design and a few new features.
The site has close to 100 return visitors daily and building.
Revenue is not a concern at the moment.

How many of those users actually post content?

Around 5% post new content daily. This number is steadily going up. But the site has only started to gain traction this month. There's a lot of room for improvement, but I feel like it's off to a good start. ;)
Keeping it a gated community is going to make taking off VERY difficult, unless you have some over-sharing, highly prolific people in out of the gate (no pun intended).
While there may be groups that do want to keep their sharing semi-private, are there enough to build a meaningful audience (read: potential advertising revenue stream) for the service, or will you just charge for it (saw no mention of this, but may have missed it).
