Home page is too wordy/formal #48

I feel like a general reduction of text on the homepage above the fold
would help the site in terms of approachability.

"Link Sharing and Discussion Service" sounds too formal to be in any way
enjoyable.  "Shrink a link, send to friends, chat about it, and do it
again." (too long/cheesy? "and do it again" could be dropped, breaks rhyme
though) "Your own personal version of the internet"

"Exchange comments with your readers" sounds like I maybe shouldn't use the
site if I don't have readers yet. (Shouldn't be Live-Chat value prop anyways)

The What is Go2.Me and Go2.Me Benefits sections are kind of redundant.  I
say they should be merged.  Also, organized to align with user flow:

What is Go2.Me?
o Shorter links - Go2.me links are only 16 characters long - perfect for
Twitter messages. Try it: http://Go2.me/G
o Easy Sharing - Single-click sharing of your links via Email, Facebook, or
Twitter.
o Feedback - Get statistics on how many people are viewing your links
o Live Chat - Comments on links update in real time, so you can have a
conversation with other people viewing the same link, or just leave a note
for later.

Personalized and Promote dont make enough sense with their respective
explanations and aren't strong enough value props.  Great to message they
they exist, but maybe put it on a "Look at all these cool other things you
can do with our site" page.  (Actually I think it would be really great to
create a page with every even slightly hidden feature all listed out, a
level below the homepage, like link after this list "See all the other
stuff go2me can do!" List: Username w/o signin, lock down login with google
account, list of links, personalize profile, tags, etc.)
