I agree; 1. a "new stuff section" is super important, 2. measure popularity via engagement (although I'd use upvotes for that), 3. allow users to share via fb/tw/... .
As for the chicken egg problem; I guess focusing on a small industry first would help.
Actually, why not make Nyolk focus on sneakers first? There is a community of people that are obsessed with sneakers and they would love such platform. The word would spread quickly in that community. They eventually would become the first core community to contribute to Nuyolk.
I'm excited to see what Nuyolk becomes! We can keep in touch:)
