Cool man. Great design. But as I'm sure you know, you are entering a very tough market. You'll need more than superior aesthetics and good marketing. I might suggest targeting a particular social niche rather than the general population as a whole. Best of luck to you.

Thank you so much; Really, it means the world to me and gives me more motivation than ever (and it's hard as hell to motivate me at times) when I get any type of user feedback what so ever. I don't have any real-world contacts that do what I do (code/internet related work in general) that I can get feedback from, So needless to say I rarely get it for any of my projects. Yes it's a very tough market; But I see nothing wrong with that, it just goes to show (in my eyes) that it's a good market to get into if it's that popular, but you have to make people love it & make it stand out otherwise you'll be another failed startup collecting e-dust.

I agreee, refreshing design! I'd focus as well on trying to develop a sharing segment, similar to the newsfeed of the entire community, where people can browse whats being shared. Also, just a thought, the awesome background in the beginning could be switched to an image rotator of pics uploaded by users with a public setting.. And a bottom part with most active public discussions or shares.. Sort of whats trending in the community? It would help the users visitings knowing why they should sign up, or at least me:) Did you do this just for fun or is there a specific issue you want to solve? Suerte.

  Gracias! And very interesting ideas (thank you for them! I like way you think.) -- I definitely need to make it more active mainly for new users since it's still very small for a social network (675 users and counting... almost 3 days in though!) and it can seem a little quiet at first. Well, to be honest I got inspired to make this when Facebook started with the changes... I don't want to put in a cliche phrase about being the next big thing, but I just saw a lot of my friends and the general public pissed off and hating Facebooks changes, which led me to think you know what might as well really test my skills and see what I can do. I attempted a social network before myself (this is my second attempt) but that was about a year ago and It's stupid how much I've learned since then.
