we're doing something similar at Dialoggs [1], where people can have private discussions for collaboration (with file uploads, embeds, etc.) as well as public Dialoggs about whatever topics you want. for example, i created http://dialog.gs/amir/cloudplay http://dialog.gs/amir/cloudplay where all the beta testers of my app can post feedback, etc. it's really hard to differentiate in such a crowded space. i'd focus on a superniche and nail it right, even if you only have a small number of loyal users. don't call yourself a social network because you won't be delivering on that promise (we don't call Dialoggs that either since it's a ghost town compared to the giants) in the beginning. also, i'd work on improving the logged-out experience. much like twitter used to have a public timeline on their frontpage iirc, you could show the latest content on there.
