First, when I got to this tab, after bulk opening all the interesting links, my first reaction was that someone had their domain name hijacked. I'm not sure what that was my reaction, but I think it is the layout of the "New & Interesting" which looks about like a domain squatters link operation. Maybe if it was somehow integrated with the billboard above it wouldn't look pasted in.

Second, the billboard frightens and confuses me. Giant popups shoot out when I roll over the buttons at the bottom, but I can't seem to click on the buttons. The buttons hilight green to show they are active, but they won't click.

I see a screencast button, but I eschew those because I like to go at the speed of reading.

I can't see enough without an account to bother creating an account.

I suspect many of your features require an identity to function, like listing my equipment. Perhaps you could just create the identity as a cookie on me, then when I decide to create an account associate it at that point. Sort of "all strangers get an account", but you have to "create an account" to make it permanent.
