Re: the new FIRST Objective
Prior to logging in, its not exactly clear what the objective of the FIRST objective is... it sort of looks like a bland twitter feed or facebook newsfeed. Not to be harsh, but the point needs to be understood before the user spends the time and energy creating a login.
If this site doesn't really find its own niche (think TBA), its going to be hard for people to want to duplicate effort to put things on an unknown site. Right now FIRSTers can already tie together for FIRST and Facebook, and with both of those providing much much larger audiences, they are much more likely to gather attention for their teams by creating Facebook events, or sharing FIRST videos or clips on their feeds there. Those are both very good social interaction sites. CD is more of a technical "for FIRSTers" type of site, not as much intended for the outside world, but you can share documents, photos and interact on forums. Videos are easily posted on youtube and linked via any of these sites, so its hard to see a reason to post them elsewhere.
Ultimately its always worth playing around with ideas, and for every great idea there are hundreds or thousands of not as great ideas, so keep playing and improving... determine what the actual point of the site would be and what niche market it fills and very clearly communicate that and you may have yourself something popular.
Good luck!
