The site is nearly at that point where opinion matters less than interaction testing and observed behavior.
That said, I have corresponded with those like Shapiro, coauthor of
Information Literacy as a Liberal Art. The site lacks something
Richard Mitchell could put his finger on, but it merely left me puzzled.

The use of the word "information" as a descriptive adjective has exploded to the point of near absurdity: information age, information society, information economy, information superhighway, information millennium, information revolution. But what does this word "information" mean in these constructions and how did it become the new keyword of our social formation’s self-definition? At first, it appears that the definition of "information" is clear and unproblematic: we all know, in common sense, what it is. But, immediately, it becomes evident that we can’t exactly specify the term in its everyday usage, and that the term is being used in some other way when attached to the words "society, " "age," etc. In fact, it appears that "information" is either used too ambiguously, as a collection place for multiple significations that are generated in the application of the term to a bewildering range of different practices; or that "information" is used too precisely, that is, that its meaning becomes attached to narrowly specific technological functions, such as those generated in the field of information science or engineering.

As primitive and obscure as it is, information technology does exist. Running a buzzwork check on a single page of your site turns up a score of 420. While this may put you in good stead for pagerank, it does not when the subject is information.
To sum up, the site has a lot of content. That is not the same as information. Running a list of less than informative buzzwords against this content turns up a pretty high score. I would suggest, based on the theme and purpose of the site, you might want to concentrate more on the information the technology is supposed to provide.
