Most of the content from the site is from RSS feeds. This is why there are lot of descriptions that are short. Hopefully users will add stuff and I can wean the site off this automatically submitted content.

After you register, you create a board or two, follow some users or sources in those boards. Make a tech board, with the sites you like. Make a friends one following all of your friends. But, you are absolutely right. I am not showing the user that they need to do this. This is probably the hardest thing to do, for me, right now.
