Honestly, it looks GREAT! and it works great! I love the concept. Kind of HotOrNot+Video mashup. Sweet.

[get rid of that "sexy " stuff. Look at dailymotion.com .Now they are working hard to get rid of the porn content.Reason, they didnt care about it in the beginning ]

Looks gorgeous. Where's the business model? You can't have a business without a way for it to make money.

All you need is a regular audience of visitors and you can make money. Take PlentyOfFish.com for instance. Revenues of more then $5 million per year, all ad-driven.

I like the idea a lot. I have no idea how you vote for a clip, though. You should make that dead obvious.

There are big green "vote" buttons under each video. They disappear if you have voted, and result is shown.

Thank you for your feedback. Hmm.. there is a difference between "sexy" and "porn".. but, maybe you're right..
