Can easily implement the password change. How would you like to see chat implemented? More along the Facebook lines? Thanks for creating a network, is it something you could see yourself using?

I would love to see chat be a shameless ripoff of StackOverflow. I'd also rather see it directly integrated on the main page for the network, possibly stacking posts and files vertically so chat can have space. File uploading could stand to be integrated in the main page too. Voting on posts seems somewhat strange (also strange that it isn't integrated in the main page), but I may have different use cases in mind than you do. In fact, that would be a good thing to point out on the site, what do you have in mind for possible use cases? My idea is that this would be shared by people who know each other in real life. Voting on a friend's contribution seems strange. Another really cool feature would be the ability to share a network with simply a private URL, no need for other members to sign up if they don't want to. Each user can get their own private URL which ties them back to the email address they were invited on so you know who's who. If you ever want to talk in more detail about this (like after the HN story falls into obscurity), feel free to contact me at the email address cryptically listed in my profile.

  We are still in Alpha and so there is a lot of things we want to still do but for now we had a minimum viable product and hope to keep developing it. We wanted to allow people to vote, just like they can on here, in case they wanted to create networks on their passions. I have a football network with my mates and we find the voting works really well. Interesting links are at the top and boring links find their way to the bottom. We also want people to be able to chat and post/vote from the home view but for now we wanted to launch the site and then iterate afterwards. This will take place though. With regard to stackoverflow - we will take a look. Chat is quite primitive at the moment but again something we hope to improve.
