Hey Jeffro thanks for the comments and the "encouragement". To be honest your optimism is a little off-putting - especially since you have said this to me repeatedly since I started building it. I am still trying to work out how you define success though? By your definition it may never be a success but by my own, I think it's already a winner.

It's a success because I have actually managed to build something that worked and didn't die on the launch day.

It's a success because I made a Digg styled site using WordPress.

It's a success because I've done no promotion (apart from 1 tweet) and have had over 50 people register in the first day.

Will it have long term success? No idea, but I guess we'll see :)

I do have a number of ideas for both promotion and monetisation so hopefully it will do everything I plan for it to do. Thanks also for the constructive part of the review - there are some points there that make total sense and I will be implementing some changes in the coming days (weeks) to address most of the key problems from the review.
