This is great feedback. We just redid the homepage, but I totally agree. It is not coming across like I had hoped. Thanks for your comment. Truly appreciate

This is great feedback. We just redid the homepage, but I totally agree. It is not coming across like I had hoped. Thanks for your comment. Truly appreciated. Can you make any suggestions for what you would like to see on the homepage. How can we make it more clear?

OK, the single biggest problem is there's way too much happening. Do you really need SEVEN tabs for each trend? I can discern no difference between four of them (overview, the pitch, the buzz, in depth)...they all seem pretty much like the same thing. And, if you're a socially generated site, isn't it ALL talk? You should probably have no tabs and a simpler view all-around. If you do have tabs, maybe just "Media" and "Talk" with the first page remaining "Overview". All of that other stuff just seems to just be people making a few random "Yeah, my idea is awesome!" comments. If you want people to have that kind of ownership, maybe let them have personal profile pages where they can just say "Yeah, I'm awesome!" and then let the trends stand alone with just the talk and media. Likewise for the front page..."What's Next?" and "The Wire". I can't even begin to guess what the difference between the two concepts might be. Too much going on, and I'm just confused. But, if your users can make sense of this stuff...maybe I'm just too old. But I'm definitely very confused, and often irritated about not finding the interesting bits easily. As I mentioned, the Browse page is actually pretty cool...and made me want to click through. But once I clicked, I regretted it, as I didn't find what I wanted to find on the other side. (Partly because idiot users are not interesting, and partly because I was just overwhelmed by the number of links off to nothing...one can more safely assume that half of the tabs will lead to empty pages than that they are worth clicking.)
