Is there a possiblity for skins in the future? (i.e. - MSN allows you to pick a "theme" for the background colors and what not of your home page)
If not, perhaps add a bit more dark coloring? The light colors are flashy, but some of the "uber-males" mightn't be attracted to them. Need some contrast I feel. Also, go with the not so neat look. For example, I know someone mentioned something about the toolbar above. How about giving those white letters some bolk, dark outlining? (Not sure if that's a good description). I think the site is better off going toward the more rugged design. After all, Microsoft makes very professional looking apps, but people buy less efficient ones because 1)they seem simpler, 2) they look cooler.
We'e going to have amazing customization and skinning capabilities. We just haven't exposed it to you yet, but its in there. We have two things to do before we can let you go wild: 1. we have a security issue where I can't yet allow people to enter arbitrary html or Style info. 2. We need to build a nice UI to let you manage your skins and themes.
Both are coming, they are some of our top priorites for the web site.
