Re: What do you think of our site?
#2Honestly, first impressions:
1. What am I looking at?
2. Who is being targetted?
3. What value does this offer me?
4. What do the buttons do on the top left?
5. I can't read the slogan.
I don't get it. Perhaps you should check out http://conversionxl.com/blog/
:) I like the music though

Interesting. I appreciate the sharp feedback. We want our users to see Famocracy as a StumbleUpon or Digg/Reddit for talent. The most important part of the site is at the top - the Discovery Bar. Every time you vote, you are taken to something new, which hopefully you can enjoy.

Is this something you think people would use for their entertainment - and if not, what do you think is missing?

#5What's happening, I'm scared :-(
There's a lot of media deposited into my retinas, it's pretty but i feel overloaded to the point that it took me an inordinate amount of time to spot the buttons and even longer to figure out what they are for. There's nothing to entice me into participating.
I'd like to flick through to new things without having to vote, because I'm lazy like that and most people
Could be good if you got some indie record labels and studios on board and fed them people's submissions directly. Like every day, 10 top new liked videos/music goes to labels.

Good point, Tauv. I may disagree about the overloaded part, but think you're right about people not wanting to vote. The thing is Famocracy is not only about entertainment. It's about helping talents be spotted through democratic voting. So, although the voting may seem a little burdensome, it seems essential to what we're trying to do.
About feeding people's submissions to the studios: wonderful idea! I think this would get a lot of users excited, and aware about the fact that they become famous through Famocracy. How would you go about making that deal with big studios?

#7Just click on the link and going to the home page — I have no idea what the site is about. I'm guessing it's like some talent show upload-your-own video type of site, but there's no hero text or call out that explains what the site is about.
My $.02

Good point, richf. We're actually going to have a "Take the Tour" feature pretty soon.
I like your $.02. Do you have more advice?

I'd say entertainment plays a major role in crowdsourcing the voting.
You need some logical separation above the fold - ex. Recruiters, Talent, Entertainment (sic).
The thumbnails are a bit weird also, you should make it so that when you click the background you automatically get redirected to the content, instead of having to just click on the title.
You should also explain in short what the site is for - and why is it for you, and most importantly - what can I do on here?
I can also see famocracy as a place where people can go look for entertainment (videos, musicians) they wouldn't otherwise know about. So instead of just artists looking for recruiting, it could create sales for them instead/too :)
Kind regards
