At first I thought this was a paid service which did the work of posting on your behalf on various social networks. But after I signed up I realized they actually want you to set up your own accounts on each of the various social networks t

I like your idea. Netbooks are one of my fascinations too - I've been happy to see the market grow so much recently. The first thing that strikes me, though, is the weakness of the design. The homepage really needs some work - it lacks "pul

That seems more to the point, being that it's US-based. Thanks for the link. Here's Victor Wong, the Yale student who started paperg, talking about it in this article: http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/23170

Agreed - the existence of competition should not be a deterrent. Angie's List is kind of similar to these two and gets close to a million unique visitors per month. http://www.angieslist.com And, like you, they have a monetization plan. S

There's a ton of alumni networks on Facebook that seem to be operating sort of successfully. Are you talking about reducing the feature set? As for the ads service, I'm not sure if you're talkinga about something like addiply, which is a UK

I did not think it necessary for Mr Northrop to use the "political third person" when referring to the employer instead of the more common 'he' or 'they' -- "She can quickly get a picture of who you are and what you know, and then drill in

I don't know if I would go so far. But I agree that a certain amount of caution should be applied here because of the obvious career risks to a move like this. However, one strategy someone could take would be to conduct their porn experime
