    You've got a lot of work to do on that one. Install YSlow on Firefox and hit it with that. You'll learn some interesting stuff that you've missed. Compare the results to my site: docplanet . org

    A few recommendations:

    1) "Unregistered user can post" should be changed to "Unregistered users can post". (In the top introductory flash box.)

    2) Add a Categories tab.

    3) Switch the Recently Watched and the Most Watched categories. When I went to the page, the Recently Watched box made it look like your site is dedicated to videos on tickling gorillas.

    4) Consider category attacks. In other words, YouTube is currently the king of general content. Without specialization, you're coming up against a monolith without any distinctive differentiation. There has to be a reason that compels the user to post to your site over YouTube, or even in addition to YouTube. The same applies for people searching for content. If you have highly distinctive and original categories, then you odds of attracting a loyal audience will increase greatly.
