I have gone about this the completely wrong way. Rebuild time :) (not as drastic as I just made it sound) Thank you everyone for letting me think this out.

There are 2 ways to do this, either open up and do it more as a social b2b site and not so focused on JV's or close it down further and more specifically what type of JV this site accepts. You are right that JV means a lot to different peop

Thanks, Also in addition to the case studies that I need to put up, I do actually have a blog post on ways businesses can work together, if your interested to read over it or maybe it will give greater insight into what binkd is trying to a

Excellent. I think I might give that approach a try. Some extra coding for me tonight, though it will be fairly easy to add to the existing site :)

Just an idea. If made the search open to the public, but required a little bit of information at the start e.g. what industry you are in etc (some search parameters, but not identifiable information) then it turned up unimpressive results (

That thought already crossed my mind and while the search results wouldn't be as accurate until you signed in and provided more details about the business (as you said the business would have to have goals/values similar to yours) it could

Thanks for checking out the site. Some case studies would be a great idea, I am about to use the software myself (in real business) to setup/manage a few JV's, I shall publish the results. Thanks for that idea. Monetization - freemium model

Ok, 30 mins, not one piece of feedback. I did learn about links becoming active in comments and not posts, which is something at least. Maybe I should ask the question on how do I get people to respond to my questions? Because my experience

Most websites have terms and conditions saying that automated retrieval of their content is prohibited. It is generally all up to the Terms and Conditions of the site. If a site wanted to share it's data it would normally give you an API. Y

I think the integration of social media is a possible solution. Recommendations and likes (from Facebook) or other places are hard to artificially jack up and can also offer great results if it ties them to your friends. I like the directio

How did this even get on the front page of HN? It doesn`t convey anything useful and is a blantant promotion for themselves. I `don`t mind blantant promotions as long as there is something valuable for me to look at while I`m there. All the

So what about the recent Facebook integration, still rolling out and the overall switch to social search, something Google can't get right no matter how many companies they buy. What about the only very recent Yahoo integration, the Windows

This is such small thinking. As one of the commenters on the page did: http://i.imgur.com/jHLOX.png It shows a much more likely scenario. Although maybe a bit over the top with the naming of the profit section as Google Kill Zone. Why can

Orignally I thought of this, having it as an online referral based system, but it wasn't going to work. Referrals of clients is too time consuming and requires large amounts of trust before sending clients over to someone. I went down the p

Funny you should mention that. First private beta of my site that does fairly much what you described going live tomorrow. It is for all businesses though, not just startups. I have been working on this one for about 4 months (from idea to

It's interesting how everyone builds their model's first. I used to but found it less rework if you build the GUI first. That way you build your model knowing exactly what is required. But I too use pen and paper. Nothing quite compares to
