you know i hate sites that have some cutesy name that references the site's functional metaphore like 'digg' and 'fffffound' but the thing is i know right away basically what its about and what as a user or visitor i am to expect. 'nizm' is sort of vague and ryhms with 'jizm'. so i'd ask whats it mean and why? my first impression when i see the site is that its a video site, nice design, grids work sort of etc but all i can think to do is look at a category or click a video...so all it really ends up being on the first page is, as some people have mistaken, is a typical video site...theres no big button or obvious functional *thing* that makes me involve myself right away. even your little write up just sounds like google video or youtube content ranking shinanigans as opposed to quality videos edited by savvy users.
take a look at http://yuxt.com/, its down now but its very usable right away, sort of compelling to automatically look around and add video or try something, they have some cool functionality thats attractive to some people. you should play up your strengths like either cool video functionality stuff and/or quality edited videos... like ffffound is with images.
just my thoughts.
