Since you asked. To me this looks like Twitter, that requires a download, and that only shares with people on my friends list, with a whole bunch of extra BS I don't care about (like seeing what other people are reading). I have no idea why I would suffer through these crippling limitations (much less pay for the privilege) when I already have Twitter and all sorts of chat services my friends are using. Your product looks fine, it just solves no problems for anybody. My advice is to strip down what you have into its essence. Delete all of the bulky features, delete all of the arrowtext from the home page, and make it so that people can try your product instantly on the home page, without installing anything. Also, you won't make any money at your current price point, even if you got users (which you won't with this pitch). Multiply the price by 10, and target the product such that you can confidently see how it's worth $50/month to some narrow group. Frankly, in it current state the product isn't worth $5/month, or even $0/month. It's just a waste of time. Once again, since you asked. P.S. Here's a twist on the idea that would excite me, and which I can imagine leading to consumer ad revenue: Make it so that I can instantly and anonymously jump into a browsing session shared with others when I'm lonely, in the browser using iframe hacks or something. Or maybe play back other people's browsing.
