Usability tips:

- The name of the site doesn't communicate what the site is about (at the very least make the tagline more prominent and maybe get a writer to refine it)

- The title of what's being sold should be above the video thumbnail

- The $ symbol should come before the numeral

- I'd get rid of the ad (which is so slick that it distracts from the homemake content)

- "Stuff" is a very bad label for a button

- Having the "upload video" button is useless if it doesn't worked when you aren't logged in

Biz suggestions:

- I'd use the site to focus on a specific vertical market instead of being all things to all people (and focus on a vertical where you'd want video as opposed to a still image — cars would work)

- Get a college kid who is majoring in film/video to shoot your video demos (especially if you want to go after the high end of the market)
