Re shallwedive the request invite button is a bit off in ff - mid left of the email box. Works fine in the other browsers. It would be cool getting an awesome picture of the ocean as the main background (think flipboard).

Would love some feedback on Corsvi - http://www.corsvi.com

Got to add a proper 'about' page which explains it - but Corsvi is a content discovery site which focuses on tech, formula 1, film, gaming and photography right now (whilst still developing ranking methods). If you think it would benefit from having more categories or anything else, do say!
