I happen to quite like the fact that it's very web 3.0.
Especially the video mode.
Gigantic streaming video is the backbone there. It couldn't have been done well just a few years back. These days people have 8-24mb connections so it's possible.
And the fact that it feels like a computer program. Not a website.
And the form is just ingenious, I had been struggling with getting a 300x250 ad block fitted on each page on a site I'm working on. Problem solved.
It's ingenious in many simple ways. I certainly can't fault them for managing to fit all that content into a single 1024x768 screen; everything is above the fold. No scrolling, ever.
