A few things:

1) The intro video is amateurish and uncompelling -- nobody wants to see a deck poorly animated with black bars on the side.

2) The web design needs some work. I'd recommend hiring someone with more modern sensibilities/tastes to redesign the front page. There are little things: the first signup button isn't centered, the bottom one is way too small and laid out wrong.

3) "Wait, does Facebook do that?" Answer this question, clearly.

4) Show your product. I should be able to see it, get a taste of it without signing up for it (this matters more in the beginning/without network effects which is where you're at).

5) What are your USPs? What is Facebook not doing? The major two problems are context collapse, which you're addressing, and privacy. Think about addressing that as well. That was the major reason for the fundraising success of Diaspora. Their home page is closer to how a landing page should look in 2010 as well: http://www.joindiaspora.com/
