    Excellent site design. It's a bit too slow due to heavy graphics. Homepages of sites like yours will become too heavy in no time due to the graphics/video/flash contents about 'new trendy stuff'. So everytime you post an image, make sure that you are trimming it to an acceptable size.

    As for the google ad, you can put a 160x600 skyscraper text links right below 'Favorite Sites' and another graphics/flash banner of the same size next to it below 'Information'.

    (A marketing tip - Everything that's showcased there shows May 14th as timestamp. Posting everything on a single day may not fetch you any good and you might run outta resources. Try to post one or two per day so that people are constantly updated)

    Good luck! I liked your theme and concept!

    Interesting design... I would work on something bottom right... Appears a lot of wasted white space there....
