This looks fancy and Web 2.0 and pinteresty and whatnot (and has the page size and CPU requirements to prove it), but it still has the fundamental problem of the old archive.org: it thinks portals are still relevant to the internet. They're not. One person or organization can't meaningfully organize all of the world's information, it's not worth trying. It's like saying "we're bringing the Dewey Decimal System into the 21st century." No, rigid hierarchical classification just doesn't cut it any more. Just focus on archiving the information, improving the search mechanism[1], and staying alive, and let the community handle curation and discovery. [1] Merchanisms? Sorry to weeb out, but they should really look at Danbooru (NSFW) sometime. Tag-based classification and search works extremely well when (1) the users submitting the content aren't the people that made the content, so there's no conflict of interest encouraging them to try to game the system by spamming tags and whatnot, (2) there are strong guidelines for what is and isn't acceptable, what is and isn't subjective, and (3) the users are as dedicated and passionate as anime fans and archivists are. Let the users contribute objective tags, add support for subjective/personal tags ("pools" in booru lingo) that don't show up in search results but provide a way for users to curate, and for the love of god let them "fave" things and see their friend's favorites, and participation on archive.org would explode overnight.
