I hope there's some sort of plan to use this to let people edit their Myspace profiles, though I'm not sure how feasible that is. I can't see why anyone would want to use this by itself.
The new focus on home pages doesn't sound like a very good idea either. Google and Yahoo have been doing that for years (not to mention Netvibes, Pageflakes, etc), and your improvement on that is to let people position and resize images and videos? Good luck with that.
How about a different approach? You've written all this code that lets people easily lay things out on a web page. Hm... that sounds kind of like a desktop publishing application. What do people use those for? Flyers, invitations, newsletters, etc. And all of these things are notoriously annoying to send via email. If you crank out some templates and hype up your product as an easy way for people to make and send flyers (with videos embedded!), then you'd at least start out with a few users.
An idea for where you might want to take this would be to turn it into a service for other sites to use. A social networking site webmaster would use your service to offer their users the ability to drag n drop functionality on their page. You would make it easy for the webmaster to create "widgets" that can be added/removed. Basically iGoogle for any site that wants it but doesn't want to get involved in the hairy mess of making a solid and reliable drag n drop interface.
Good call, we still have to update the main site with some changes. You've nailed us though, because we did the marketing change on Sunday, and the online version hasn't caught up with localhost.

But home pages? It's been done. Many, many times.
