This is an idea I've been working on for the last month or so. I wanted to make a fun and addictive site with a low barrier to participation. After iterating through a few prototypes with friends, I opened the site to the public last week.

Some data so far: The average visitor generates over 50 page views, and stays for longer than 5 minutes. There's significant click-through to Amazon, which is how the site generates revenue. People seem to enjoy the site, but only a few seem to be sharing it with their friends.

I have a Facebook Platform app in the works, which I hope will help to increase the site's virality. In the mean time, I'd be grateful for any feedback you could provide.

Average of 50 page views is great, but whats the % of returning visitors? I think u've gota find/create a reason for users to return. Neat idea nonetheless.
