Pluggr.com Pre-Launch Questions

App Url: www.pluggr.com

Basic concept of the site is that you can promote anything you want, whether it's your facebook page, twitter account, links you like, startups. It's a mash up of all of that. You can only plug one thing every 24 hours, the content is moderated. I'm close to launching this little application, it seems that is is missing a couple of features and this is why I'm creating this thread.

The plug statistics work in the following way: When a link from the plug is clicked, whether it's the website url, twitter account, facebook page, linkedin page or youtube channel link it adds 1 to the plug statistics. Statistics are IP based, one IP can click one of the links and increase the plug count by one for each links in the plug. So example: One plug has 4 links, one user can ultimately increase the plug count 4 times by clicking each of the links within the plug.

1. Is location filtering a feature that users would like to see on the site. My thought was that you could attach a location to your plug so in case you're promoting an event, people can search within certain areas and find content relevant to their areas.

2. Feed filtering, right now I just have two options, one being "Newest" plugs and "Most Plugged"

3. Promoted content, eventually if the site gains traction I was thinking it may be a good platform for advertisement. It is not the main goal of the site to be monetized, this is more of a fun little project at the moment.

I'm looking for user feedback at the moment, if you guys could suggest features to add or remove on the site it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to launch by middle / end of next week!

Thank you.
