Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure if it was meant to be this way.. but the design looks eerily similar to facebook's.

purely coincidental

Are you sure? It seems to be as if you just took their source code - you even have their logo in the top right corner.

I suspect facebook will not approve of their logo appearing so prominently at the top right of the page.

the padlock logo is recommended by facebook, it's in the wiki

The facebook link in the corner makes it look like a phishing site to me. It looks so similar to facebook and has the tag that if I can across this site on my own I'd leave immediately as I'd feel the site was out to steal my identity.

Weellll, it's okay. It does what it does, but what it does is not really for me. Sure, I'd like to click on hot chicks, but you know what I'd really love? If, when I clicked on that chick long enough, she begins to like me! Then she calls me and buys me dinner. Now that's a problem you startup founders should solve! Getting me laid is a killer application, I tell you.

That's a problem that's been solved with various degrees of legality all around the world from time immemorial. I don't think that'll get anyone to an IPO. It might result in some book and movie deals, a clothing line, or a popular blog. (Heidi Fleiss and "Confessions of a College Call Girl" come to mind.)

Getting a bunch of debug notices if I try to visit. It's a cute debug :)

But is it hot? Or not?

What isn't recommended is the implication that the site is somehow sponsored by facebook, which I think they will feel this site tries to do. Intentional or not.

Is there any benefit (other than it's easier) to have all the different categories on the same site?

To me, it seems that "a site that lets you compare stuff" is less appealing than "a site that lets you compare girls", "a site that lets you compare cars", "a site that lets you compare pets" tied together in a loose network and with similar branding.

Also, I should be able to vote by just clicking on the image I like more :p
