Hey Guys, Please review my new Social Bookmarking site called Boretime: Url: http://boreti.me/ Any suggestions and or opinions are welcome. Thanks a lot!
Very nice site. But if you ask "my" opinion I don't really like the name "Boretime". It is giving negative impression to the site before even visiting it. By the way, which script are you using, PLIGG? and which theme are you using? I like it very much.
Hey! Thanks for the opinion! I agree with your, the name is a little negative, but my aim was to make it something short, and that was the only one i found available. As for the site, im actually using PHPDug by Kubelabs, and there is no template its custom.
You know when I read your site name I thought it is a social bookmarking site for "funny" links because when you get bored you need something funny to entertain yourself. May be you can turn your site to social bookmarking site for "funny and interesting" links ... just an idea
You are right hahah, but yea if this doesnt work out then i guess thats what i'll do thanks for the idea.
Thanks buddy! Thank you, im digging the look too! Gotta work on that though. Thanks HVH! I appreciate your comment i liked it too when i bought it!
If I tell you what I like you won't find any help in it. So better what I don't like. 1. The slogan "news for when you are bored" - meehh... this sounds like "come here if you really really really don't have anything better to do"... Try to find something creative. 2. Design - clean and simple, again try being a little more creative. 3. If I were you I would try to focus on a certain topic from digg, e.g. "Technology". This way is easier to increase your serp for some keywords. Also, why would people come on your site and not digg ? Do something to grab users in your site.
Hey lumpy! Thanks for the suggestions! 1. I will change that up in a little while, your right it should be something pulling not negative. 2. I will try to make it a little more colorful and creative! Any suggestions? 3. Very true! I thought that before but i didnt know what i can really do, i mean, the site is basically on autopilot right now. Do you have any suggestions?
You should use another buzz word instead of 'digg'. I'm pretty sure that's a trademark. Clean interface tho, I like it!
Change the logo so it stands out, and the sight seems boring itself, its too monochrome. It should have a feel to it, also there is already a digg site, stand out don't use dig to vote on a story, it doesn't set your site apart.
thanks! Yup, i have changed that now! Thanks! I changed "dig" to bump instead, as in bumping the story up to the popular page. any other suggestion?
