I think your going to need something else to drive attention/use of the site.<p>Right now it's basically a standalone GIST app with out any of the social networking bits.<p>If I were to rate the idea as-is I'd probably give it a 5/10 it seems like core functional works but there needs to be more...<p>How do you intend to monetize the site?
(premium services, ads, acquisition?)<p>Somethings I'd look into.<p>1. Add Group Feature (Private Group Bit Repository)
2. Maybe some kind of game mechanic to drive initial traffic and increase the sites stickiness. (pts for posting, badges, etc)
3. Plugins for Wordpress, BBS, Facebook, etc.
4. Try narrowing your niche "Business, Open Source" you can always expand it later.<p>Just some thoughts...<p>Good Luck<p>-N
It seems like an OK site. With these things polish is really key.<p>- Use fixed width layout<p>- align the sign in link the the right margin<p>- let people see submit links even if they aren't signed in. If they click on it, then sign them in.<p>- stock it with a lot more bits. Right now there are just 3!<p>- have more than one user. Get your friends in on the beta first.<p>- make it seem alive and constantly changing, so people come back.<p>- make the bits shareable on twitter / facebook, etc<p>- the iconography is sort of weird, I saw a pancake, an asparagus (?), and the logo looks like a green folded piece of paper with eyes and a bite out of it. If you don't know how to design (which is totally OK), then go for minimalism.
