It seems to be a lot more focused on publishing than on reading. Maybe the main howl.com page could list the most popular links or something else that the casual reader would be interested in. The jump from non-participant to publisher seems too big. I went to the site. Poked around and just walked away. Instead if there was a way to turn from non-participant to consumer, and then to publisher/producer, that would make it easier to get engaged. So, make browsing easier. If you consider sites like HN, or Reddit, Twitter, they make it easy to just consume for a while without contributing. Another question: Do you have an account on howl? What's the URL for your link-blogging page? Another feature to enable browsing: a way to search for people. So suppose I visit the site. I want to see if people are publishing links related to Python or astronomy, if there was a way to search for these keywords and find the link publisher that would lead to more people staying.
