Oh alright then, not sure I saw the self-deprecation as humor, but to each his own! Carry on good sir.

You're not stupid for creating something that already exists. I've "copied" sites before and have made decent money from them, even if the market was crowded or the idea was unoriginal. At the very least, its a learning experience. The trut

Most people don't really care about having a "presence" online (if they did, they'd already have a blog out there). Facebook is about your friends and social network; your mom is on Facebook because her friends and family are, not because s
