I went to the site, and I had to watch the video twice before I got it.

Ok, it's a not really a social network like Facebook (that's what I immediately think when I hear social network). It's more like Reddit or Digg, but with the comments embedded in whatever page you're looking at. Am I right?

A few comments:

1. That video isn't really helping your cause. The fact that it's the only source of information about Weblerr combined with the fact that I had to watch it twice to have any idea what it was is a problem. The video goes for 1:17, and there's literally only 5 seconds of it that tells me anything.

2. With so little information about it, I'm not going to hand over my details. I have questions - do I have to download anything? What browsers does it work with? Does it tie into any other social networks? Do sites have to support it before I can comment on them? What does the UI really look like? etc.

3. You have the very serious disadvantage that you're competing against established competitors (Reddit/Digg/Twitter) that have thousands or millions of users.

In general, probably a nice idea, but you're really just embedding Reddit/Digg/Twitter into the original page. I'm sure there are plugins that'll do that for Firefox and Chrome already.
