I agree that seeking "face time" with particular people is useful and necessary. But the initial comment sounded like I should stalk people, corner them, and in general be a jerk. I refuse to do that.
I also agree that the idea "needs a little work", probably more than a little. That's what seed money is intended to address: keeping a roof over my head while I work on the idea.
To paraphrase Paul Graham, for the third time in this thread, the final product tends to look very little like the initial idea.
Yes, I agree the site probably needs a name change. The very initial idea in this case was user-created lists of bittorrent files, "Wikipedia meets BitTorrent", if you will. I've modified the idea to include links to videos that are not bittorrent files, including youtube, vimeo, posterous, and justin.tv. So yeah, the site probably needs a name change, which I've considered for awhile.

Thats a pretty big leap from my initial suggestion of asking one of your existing LinkedIn contacts to introduce you to one of their existing LinkedIn contacts that may be able to help you out. You've got some good food for thought and advice from others throughout this thread. I'd suggest taking a time out, coming back and reading through the 30ish posts here with as objective an eye as possible.
