Like most I came because I was interested in sales data. I joined up because it has a large (relativly) userbase that is fairly active. There is also a fair bit of intellegent observation and conjecture on the site which is rather nice. Given the userbase and the hardworking site staff this is a perfect way to streamline news. More often than not I can fin someone linked an article from another news source before I'd have time to find it out for myself.
vgc$ also make it very appealing and addictive.
(It's also a site that hasn't yet been bogged down with too many adds and other nuances that get blocked by my work's firewall)
