Hi HackerNews,<p>My name is Weston and we launched http://SwarmSports a few months ago. We provide sports fans with a quick overview of the top news articles daily.<p>Our website is sort-of a hybrid between the new Digg and TweetMeme. That means, some of our content is hand curated and some is automated.<p>What we're looking for is any feedback in how we can improve the website and if it's good. We're still Beta.<p>Also, any advice on getting the word out to users?<p>Thanks!
I'm no designer, but here are a few of my immediate takeaways. <a href="http://files.zachlatta.com/65gw" rel="nofollow">http://files.zachlatta.com/65gw</a><p>I like the site!
How do you calculate the viral rank? How about letting users visiting your site, upvote/downvote articles? More importantly, for a sports website, I think the style/theme of your site is too simple. Check this for example: <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bleacherreport.com/</a>. what I really like about your site is that's its ad free.
Try submitting the site to criticue.com. You can pose a question for reviewers to answer. I have gotten some good, actionable feedback for my sites this way.
