Say you want you want about Kutcher, but he went from a camera salesman to the highest paid actor on TV in two years. That's nothing short of miraculous.

#12Why would I care about my friends' opinions only? I want hundreds of reviews, not a couple (or zero most of the time).

#13Halfway down the first page I see the "EVGA SUPERNOVA NEX1500 CLASSIFIED POWER SUPPLY". I find it hard to believe this is that relevant to the target audience of this site, and it's too much of a coincidence that I just bought a bunch of computer parts from newegg and Amazon.
For what it's worth I saw the same thing and haven't bought anything computer related recently.
Won't be using this site, but I'm not the target demographic anyway.

#15I'm not impressed, being greeted by a 90's style "your browser is out of date" (= "we're too stupid to detect browser features") message because I'm using Waterfox.
But hey, it's endorsed and funded by a celebrity, so it will work.

#16What is this? Social meets ecommerce meets meteor? This whole site is like you took a buzzword pipe bomb and set it off in a geocities data center. A+? What is he trying to do, get listed first in the internet phone book? I guarantee you his pitch involves a lot of lofty talk about consumer and social big data. There's a whole lot of synergy going on here!
That being said I obviously wish him the best of luck.

#17Hard to not highlight items as I scroll down the page on my laptop. Almost nowhere to park my cursor to avoid this. Seems like not the most thought-through UX, at least off-mobile.
Looks like an opportunity for parking.js! /s

On my Safari window, it shows ~3.5 products per row, requiring me to scroll to the right to see the rightmost one. Having to scroll left and right is usually a design smell for me.
In chrome I get 4 items at 100% zoom. It's an ugly site, but it works fine. If I change the zoom level if seems to handle it just fine without left-right scrolling.

His twitter handle is "aplusk", as in [A]shton [plus] [K]utcher". "A+" would imply the best, and also suggests who's behind it. I think it's a clever name.

Looks like a more specific shot at Pinterest.
