Congrats on the launch. I second much of the feedback that's already been given on this page, but I wanted to mention two other specific things I've noticed:
1) Your "What is EventGel?" box at the bottom of the page (which is evidently anchored to #help) has too much text. It looks like you've listed every feature of your app. Can you reduce that to a few bullets that speak to EventGel's primary benefits, and maybe move the longer copy to an "about" page?
2) Under each comment is a "permalink" link. I think permalinks to your comments here are probably unnecessary in general, but right now those are links to the event page itself rather than to a comment.--so that an event page with dozens of comments has dozens of links to itself labeled "permalink".
Also, tk999 mentioned difficulties scaling the timeline widget. Just as another datapoint: In my experience where this starts to fall down is in the user exprience when you have very many events in the timeline. It is difficult to get this to look and work just right with a large number of user or programatically generated events. But you could also spend some time on design within the timeline. (For examples of both, see, for instance, http://open.britannica.com/timelines?id=128 http://open.britannica.com/timelines?id=128. The timeline UI becomes unwieldy when the events are densely packed, eg. http://open.britannica.com/timelines?id=107 http://open.britannica.com/timelines?id=107) But as previously mentioned, I'm not sure the SIMILE timeline is the right widget for you to be using anyway. I think I'd look to other approaches to display the event information.
