It's a news aggregator that also shows you local news and local tweets. There are two designs, lite and full, that are changeable on the site.

Let me know what you think of the functionality, content and the overall design.

Thanks!

Great name - love it!

Personally would go for a lighter theme (like the lite) on the page but personal preference!

Maybe put your social media info in the header with a link to your twitter or something?

Good luck!

Does not look like a serious news site.Looks like 80s disco club.
I doubt if anyone would read news from such a site.Please change the design.

Great idea, I'll add some social media links.

It's not exactly a serious news site. Maybe 25% of the whole site is actual news, the rest is popular links and videos and such.

Header is not emphasized well because of the background. Is this a one page site for news links only?

 

[Mr. Johnson]

It's a single page site that shows you top world and local news along with a ton of information and popular links; not necessarily just links, as articles can be read from within the site. Similar to popurls, except it's more expansive and localized.

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Design has been almost completely reworked and the site is 70% faster.

Thoughts?

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Site has been almost totally redesigned again. Would really appreciate some feedback.

Great website, really like the theme, not boring, also catch eyes without hurting it.
I rarely do review but your site pop my eyes.

Yhe only thing is domain name, would like better a brandable one 5L, 4L or 6L

Looks good, nice background although a bit small for my res...

I especially like the "quick view".

The alignment in firefox for the twitter live feed is a little off for me too, may want to center it on the image? (Just a thought)

[Mr. Johnson]

Thanks for your replies.

@sourcez: Are you talking about the alignment in relation to the top and sides? Btw, I really appreciate the screenshots

 

[sourcez]

Uhm, just the vertical alignment, so I probably mean top? :p

 

[manson4ik]

I like the design, really creative work. But I want to say that your website load speed is too slow.Also I can suggest you to add info boxes.

I really love how it looks. Not your regular "news site", but fresh and inviting.

 

[Mr. Johnson]

Thanks. I think I've exhausted my abilities to speed up the site outside of putting it on a dedicated server (I've done gzipping, crons, rearranging script files, etc.).

Do you guys have any feature ideas?
