This is a fairly new site launched on Christmas Day 2006 by a friend of mine.

Kaboohoo Network It includes daily updates of videos and games. More sites will be added to their network soon. Such as review section over Video Games, Cars, Movies, and Music. They are also planning on launching sites for web developers including web tutorials and awesome sites.

What do you guys think of the site so far?

any suggestions to improve the site?

I find some problems with this site.

1. Image heavy and excessively slow. Over 2 minutes on dial up.

2. There is no content. Your post is the best description of the site. It seems that someone should be able to come up with a couple paragraphs to let visitors know what the site has to offer on the index page if nothing else. And I don't mean like the keyword list on the video page.

3. Inconsistent placement of Google ads.

4. Why use 3 columns on index and contact pages and 2 columns on video and games page?

5. There is a difference in the font size on the video page from the other pages. Why?

6. (Home Page)Fails W3C HTML Validator, W3C CSS Validator flags an error to validate your XML document first. Fails Accessiblity testing for Section 508 and WAI.

7. Contact Information. Company Name, City, State, and Zip. What is the street address? How about a phone number? Why should I send a video to a friend and give the owners of this company, my email address and my friends email address? There is no privacy policy. What happens to the email addresses that are collected?

I don't trust this site.

Very impressive.

I would use Brazilian Portuguese given the population difference between Brazil and Portugal.

I don't understand how this site will make any money. I only see one advert.
