- Slow to load.

- What's different about this than all the digg/reddit clones? I see you do adsense sharing - you might want to make that more visible so as to attract users. Is swapping out adsense id's like that allowed?

I was thinking the same thing. We're getting too much reinvention of the wheel without new things like tires, studs and chains for traction. Jaanix (http://jaanix.com/) is the only one I've seen recently that adds something new to the table (or fixes what's broken about another site).

yeah jannix is nice they have some unique features.but my site also has some unique features like: 1)user can embed any video from all the video sites like youtube,metacafe etc. 2)they can post images. 3)they can embed all the audio files like mp3,rm,wav etc. 4)revenue sharing,no other site share its revenue which is unique point in newskicks.com

It loaded just fine for me. But I dont see anything that differentiates your site. Also, UI is a bit underwhelming - too many ads everywhere.

On the other hand, I agree with davidw - the revenue sharing is potentially interesting.

Either way, keep going and good luck?
