Hello,

I've just released a new site called BlinkBits.com (http://www.blinkbits.com) from PHPBB. The site is an open content resource dedicated to athletes, celebrities, politicians and more (like Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Derek Jeter and George W. Bush). I receive real-time news, info and pictures from thousands of news sources, bloggers and fans and rely on visitors to openly add, edit and rate the news.

The site was created using PHPBB and many of its mods including fetchall, topics anywhere, rss, ratings, caching...

I'd consider the site an alpha version and would love to get input on design, functionality, optimization plus any opinions on what I can do to execute on the promise of open content for my next major release. Plus let me know what you think I can do to encourage more member posts... tks in advance.

I like the design but I have some markup concerns. You're using an XHTML doctype, but you don't close every tag, like your meta tags. I'd just open your source and scroll down through it and keep an eye out for these little errors.

It'd also be nice if it wasn't layed out with tables, though I know phpBB by default is...
