It seems like this is also overlapping with Craigslist then? If you want to advertise anything based on location, Craiglist is free and widely used. If you can really provide something uniquely useful to bring members then people will come.

My question to is... how will this be monetized? You aren't creating any content here (at least in the way you have positioned it). So, you'll be making a very small slice per sale you provide via your website. But what is to stop people fr

Hey from NY! I'm also in NYC (well just outside) I have no experience on the technical side of things (aside from basic HTML and CSS and using CMS like Drupal), but have other things to bring to the table. Let me know if you (or anyone else

It doesn't matter when you get there (well, unless you're so late that the market is flooded and it's impossible to get your name out there). If you were to be first to launch, they'd come after you with overlapping features. Then what? And

I personally read it as tubular. So no confusions for me, just to throw that out there. I like the name.

Same question... And are you willing to work remotely or do you want to work with someone in the same location?

Nope. Fortunately, no explosion. :) I actually just had a late day at work so haven't gotten a chance to come back to this. But in regards to your reply. It really sums everything perfectly and I can't thank you enough for your help. It has

I appreciate the link. It's good to hear someone say that design is important. I've read similar sentiments here and there, but it's often touted that the code is far more important (especially here, understandably so). I think there defini

Thanks Fate. Good luck to your fiancee, I know it's tough. If she needs any advice on the exams, let me know. You are right. I will just have to get it done. At this point, I'll go with outsourcing, which doesn't necessarily mean offshore,

I appreciate the reply. Feel free to be blunt. I never claimed to be an expert. However, I don't think I'm nearly as naive as any craigslist poster you suggest. But feel free to laugh at me if you'd like. However, I am not kidding myself. I

Thanks for the reply! (as well as your other one, which I've responded to in the wrong order, ha) I think my other reply regarding outsourcing vs doing it myself frames what you have said here perfectly. Ultimately, I do not at all think I

I'm 24. In regards to "where" for outsourcing. That is something I have not looked into in detail, but potentially anywhere as long I received quality code. But anyway, to your other question directed at me (and no need to think your trying

Thanks for the questions. I will be asking myself those questions and analyzing the answers. A question they bring up in my mind though would be the opportunity cost of creating it myself vs. outsourcing. If I ultimately plan on finding a t

Ha. When I think about it... that is exactly what I want. It's just a tough decision. Even if I know I ultimately want to leave and pursue this full time, being that I've never done something like this before, it's nice to get some on it th

Hmm... I guess I have to just think about what I meant by "nothing to show for it" to really think as to if I'll be okay leaving my job now and then looking back at what I accomplished. I think the way I worded it was too vague. I realize I

When you say "learn some coding yourself" exactly how much does this entail? For instance, I know HTML and CSS. I am slowly learning Javascript. I am fairly confident I could learn to code the front-end in a reasonable amount of time. Is th

Thanks for all the help! Btw, I can't believe I have a typo in my title! Is there any way to edit after the edit time period has ran out? It makes me look like an idiot, lol. Anyway... It seems like outsourcing or at least have things creat

I second Inkscape. I love it. It's so useful and you can really create a lot with it. It helps to be a bit artistic; however, I think with some practice you could still do it sufficiently well to put a decent logo together. For instance, yo

I don't see how Apple could win. A "utility" patent? On the design. Seriously... am I the only one who thinks those are ridiculous patents? It looks like I suppose Samsung is infringing on the patent, but I really hope the patents don't sta

Oh okay. Well, if you want a combination, the military-styled watches are it. They use the hands and they have the numbers for hour markers. That is the combination. You have the hands and movement of analog and the numbers of digital. I'm

I think it just depends what you ultimately want. All those options you listed are great things you could be doing, but it depends on what you want your goals to be... we can't really decide that for you. So, do you want to build something?

The problem is no one wants a change in the status quo. I hate unions. Although I believe they do have their benefits, they have gotten out of hand...

I would have to agree with DanBC. Additionally, I am slightly confused as to how the idea/solution you've presented is different than from a military watch that has the numbers (often including the military / 24 hour time) as hour markers.
