   My first advice is follow whichever position you are most passionate about. All else equal, I assume you can get another corporate internship if this startup doesn't work out. In the meantime, you will probably get a wealth of experience. I

   I agree with Thibaut. Release to a small group. Adding your killer feature is one more feature which you will have to maintain and worry about. I would launch to friends (and anyone who responds to this post) now, start getting feedback and

    Is it working for you? I agree this is innovative but I feel it is spammy with no value shared. Basically it's like getting into a bar early for spamming all my friends and telling three of them to get in the regular line.

    Take a look at pool.com for deleting/backorder domains with the word affirmation or a synonym. Even if you don't find what you are looking for you will probably find some good ideas.

    I don't like to think too much while surfing the web, I like to be told what to do. I get to your site and I am not sure why I am there and what I am supposed to do with it. There needs to be some sort of statement 6-10 words so I at least
