<a href="http://seekler.com" rel="nofollow">http://seekler.com</a><p>In a nutshell, Seekler makes it easy to find and create lists of the best stuff (songs, movies, artists, comics, jokes, restaurants, or anything else you can think of). Seekler merges users' lists together to create 'community lists' that display the aggregated opinion of the entire community. Some of the popular community lists include Best Movies, Best Cities to Visit, and Best Presidential Candidates.<p>We're doing a staged launch, so we're limiting the number of user accounts for now (until we complete some important features). However, you can still search for and view Seekler's community lists on a wide variety of topics.<p>We'd really appreciate any questions, comments, or criticism about the site. Thanks!
Looks good overall. I understand where you're going with it. However, I agree that the navigation is just a bit confusing. Also, the value proposition is a bit unclear, in my opinion (perhaps because there are limited amounts of users, and it's new?)<p>For instance: What benefit do I personally gain from using the site? To see what other people think?<p>I don't mean to belittle your startup, I just want to be sure that I'm not missing the point. Perhaps a bit more explanation on the landing page would help?
One quick comment: Your layout doesn't really work on a smaller screen -- here's a screen shot from my laptop with 1280x768 resolution as I was browsing and having some stuff open (visible) behind the browser window:<p><a href="http://screencast.com/t/6ufdUZOW" rel="nofollow">http://screencast.com/t/6ufdUZOW</a><p>All other sites I usually visit work fine at this size.
Overall everything worked well. However, I did find the navigation in the "Results" page a bit counter-intuitive: <p>I entered "beer" as the seek term and was taken to the "Results" page and I clicked on the first entry in the results--"Beers" which is a list--and got a new page with a view of the items in that list. But when I clicked on the second entry in the results--"beer" which is an item--I didn't get a new page with a view of the item. Instead I got a preview of the item in the frame on the right-side of the Results page. <p>After further review, I saw the link to the right of the "beer" entry labeled "view" and was able to view the page for that item. I really don't think labeling the links to the right of each results entry differently--"preview" for a list and "view" for an individual item--will prevent the user from being surprised by this behavior. <p>Seeklr is a very intriguing site. The presentation is very attractive and implemented nicely. Good job and good luck.
Something about the design of the front page makes it look like one of the linkjack/adsense pages. This is a first glance kind of thing, but it's important as it can turn off a huge percentage of visitors.<p>Also, the footer on the front page seems a little off.
When I displayed the Movies list, it appeared with only results 1-10 of 257.
Maybe you should have the option to increase results to 20, 50 or even 100 results per page.<p>Good luck.
