I wish you the best in this endeavor, but what made LinkedIn suck wasn't anything to do with LinkedIn and everything to do with becoming a social network that businesses could use to substitute for good old-fashion contact-finding.

If your experiment takes off, I don't know how it avoids the same fate.
