Please review my music social networking website, PearlSquirrel.com

[eggo]

Hi Guys. I have been working on my website, for quite some time now, and it is ready for other people to start experimenting with it.It is quite simply a music hosting website that doubles as a social networking website. It has a live chat like facebook, and is gaining new features as fast as I can add them. I want to know what you guys think, especially about the design of the site because I want to make it look as good as possible. I did just redo the homepage and the listen page, so opinions about those two would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you want to try out some other features, you could create an account, which does not even require an email. I am very open to suggestions and would like to hear your opinions, thanks!

The logo font looks pretty dated. The little squirrels at the bottom have the tops of their tails cut off!

It's not too bad of a site really even though you sort of offer what Youtube offers. I guess all I can say is to add some intro information so users can have a little more clarity as to what you offer them.

I also think you've tapped into a pretty self-generating genre as the big wig artists most likely won't be submitting their content to your site while the home-made music creators definitely will in an attempt to share their music across differing websites.

Good going...

What would you suggest I do with the logo to make it more interesting. Also, the squirrels are supposed to have their tails cut off, but that can also be changed. I would have to disagree that I offer the same that YouTube does. If you create an account, you will see that one thing unlike any other site, or unlike any other site that I know if is the user-customizability of PearlSquirrel. You can literally customize everything on your own personal page and, unlike YouTube, I have coded a Facebook-like chat for users to talk to their friends while on the site. Granted, it might not be as flawless as the facebook chat, but it is getting better. I am trying to differentiate the site from YouTube as much as possible, but as you know, it takes time. Now that I have the main design done, I am concentrating on making the user experience much better. Also, where do you suggest I add the info and what do you think about the site graphically and the way that it looks? Thank you guys so much for the reviews, I really appreciate them!
