My reaction is a big "wha???" I don't understand what is supposed to be done, even after clicking on the "what is a slashtag" link. Maybe I'm getting old? Can the site describe what it does without a video? I hate clicking on videos. Anyhow, that's my reaction, FWIW.

My reaction is a big "wha???"

That was my first reaction. The front page really needs a plain text description of what it does - preferably in a single sentence. I clicked the /about page and gave it a quick glance (as a typical user might do). I don't think a Bill of Rights is something a typical user will slough through in order to use the service.

The other issue is the registration requirement. It may be tough to get users to sign into a search engine in order to tag sites.

With all that said, it looks promising.
