Jason...some constructive feedback:
Perhaps you shouldn't try to be 'everything to everybody'. I might not be your demographic, but whenever I think of learning I never think of Mahalo.
I would say choose one vertical that you can conquer - from an education play - and conquer it. Then branch out horizontally.
You can't beat Lynda.com, Khan Academy and every other learning site at the same time. Take it one vertical at a time and come up with a unique value proposition.
Lynda.com was the first mainstream internet video portal to make programming/technical tutorial videos and charge for them.
People don't go to Khan for the quality of the videos (i.e. fancy production and cameras), it is because he has an interesting way of explaining complex topics - and he focuses on the content (not himself).
Those are not very easy to beat, because they have already achieved Product/Market fit.
Unfortunately, you guys are still struggling to find yours.
