Close but not exactly. My product takes the layers concept (also known as groups, circles or tribes) a bit more seriously. Instead of using layers as a way to organize people, what I've developed will place users into distinct categories wi

Basically, yes. My network simply makes it dead easy to have your "contacts" in the right "tribes" with the right privacy settings from the start. Honestly, people have been complaining about security on social networks since the beginning.

Got it. This gets really close. Someone searches for you - you get a clean, well organized email request. Beautiful!

Of course, I understand. At least you get my mission. Thanks for your opinion. I'll find a way to do this right.

Wrong. There is always a way to do something right. FB added a few thousand Harvard students into one directory. Were they wrong? I know. I'm asking only because I think I have a better site, a better business model and passion for connecti

Ok, but what are you suggesting? An empty network with each user having maybe 5-10 friends within the first 24 hours? Won't last. Bottom line is this: If "Johnny" can't find something on that cute brunette from Arts 101, We're toast. Get it

Thanks for your input but that "marketing strategy" lacks a certain amount of clear execution that I'll be needing to rapidly gain solid market share. Why sit around "hoping" for signups when I can guarantee registrations?

Of course, I understand your hate for this concept - I would hate me too if I was doing this in the name of spam. I'm not. I'm simply searching for a way to indicate that a user is in my contact list before they've actually signed up and ad

Right. You'll appreciate that I'm working on an entirely different model for generating income. Something about the way personal data gets crawled in the name of targeted advertising annoys me and you, I'm sure. Won't be using #1 since I do

Thanks for your input but I'm not into trying to spoof people into using my product with dollars. I really just want to build a social product that is worth using (more than FB). Or, Maybe I can get popular students to actively use my netwo

Its interesting but my network is a closed network. Besides, why would I build a product that needs "fake" users. My aim is not to build a network that seems active but to build something active users will benefit from immediately.

Excellent point! Thanks...

Brilliant! Only difference is that I need each profile, actively used or not, to represent a specific individual. Any ideas?

I understand your dislike but this is NOT about mis-using personal data to inflate my network. Think about this: What's the good of having a social networking application without a complete social network?? Its simple: I desire a solid opti

A wise man, you are. Not another Facebook! My network specifically scratches a personal itch by allowing extensive "profiling" of people in my social network. FB is focused on allowing self expression through an aging set of rigid channels

This is true. Uncertainty lies in discovering a large, highly motivated group of interesting people. Any ideas?

This is more important than you know. If you don't believe you can do at least 31K per month at some point very soon, you probably won't be going anywhere!

I like that. An early adopter icon shouldn't be too hard to automatically assign. I'll need to figure out some time of launch strategy first. Like, Network A first followed by Network B etc. Early adopters in each network would love that ki

You have a valid point but is it worth your time? Experts don't exactly rule the world. The asker just needs to know if this threat will destroy what he does and the simple answer is NO. He has a plethora of options at his disposal, being t
