Good point, richf. We're actually going to have a "Take the Tour" feature pretty soon. I like your $.02. Do you have more advice?

Good point, Tauv. I may disagree about the overloaded part, but think you're right about people not wanting to vote. The thing is Famocracy is not only about entertainment. It's about helping talents be spotted through democratic voting. So, although the voting may seem a little burdensome, it seems essential to what we're trying to do.

About feeding people's submissions to the studios: wonderful idea! I think this would get a lot of users excited, and aware about the fact that they become famous through Famocracy. How would you go about making that deal with big studios?

Is this something you think people would use for their entertainment - and if not, what do you think is missing?

Interesting. I appreciate the sharp feedback. We want our users to see Famocracy as a StumbleUpon or Digg/Reddit for talent. The most important part of the site is at the top - the Discovery Bar. Every time you vote, you are taken to something new, which hopefully you can enjoy.
