genius. who needs voluntary transactions live venture capital or angels, what have they ever done? instead lets take money from everyone (if they don't like it we can lock them in a cage) and then give it to others who we decide are worthy.

totally disagree. our site littlebiggy.org is in open alpha though not promoted. search has brought us a half a million visitors so far. we dont ask them what features they want so much as see how they use the site and respond to their crit

our site littlebiggy.org lets people talk about people so the potential for abuse made us insist on real names. people are used to this for facebook so it wasnt a problem until important posts about corruption were missed. so we've made pse
