Thanks for the thorough advice. I dropped out, quit my job, and have been designing and building alone for a few months. I am evaluating a few friends to see if they are as devoted as I am or just looking for a cheap thrill/little fame. I don't see any other direction I want to take in my life besides this dream of mine. I will share it with HN community before applying for feedback. I will apply to both and try out KickStarter as well. Diaspora got in somehow and went straight to the big leagues. How is your startup doing now?
