Well, once in on the site, it is really very bland looking. It isn't difficult to read, but there isn't an effective call to action either.
This could be because i have no idea what I would use it for.<p>If i were you, i'd make it more like a news game. Not sure how you would accomplish this, but that could give it a more realistic spin and attract a diverse group.<p>Most of the stuff I'm seeing on the site falls strongly into the 'who cares' column. Maybe you should take a few current news topics and have those as headlines and get users involved with something everybody is familiar with.<p>As it currently stands, i'd spend a lot more time on design and marketing (figuring out how you are going to get people to use it/spread it).<p>I don't find it usable/workable as it is, and I feel your opportunity for success with the current version is very limited.<p>I wouldn't go into any sort of public beta with this. I actually feel it is too early for you to be doing private beta, but I know it can be difficult to get honest feedback from aquiaintences.<p>Don't read what I'm saying as 'this can't be successful'. Your idea has merit, you could make something of this, but you have to have a better product than you currently have, even in closed beta.
