You have some good thoughts on it, and your plan to get input is great. But, I think you need to continue thinking outside of the box on this.
What you are saying you want it to do is the cliche of existing sites out there that do social link promotion or link/news aggregation (regardless of whether there is a great logic to how you are pulling those stories, etc.). There is no value add significant enough in anything you are listing there to make me want to visit the site at all, much less with any frequency.
You need something significantly new or niche about the site. If you are looking for a challenge, surprise me (and everyone else) and come up with an idea that I'd be interested in that I've not heard before. I know this sounds harsh, but better now than later.

Thanks!
