   Thanks for such a detailed advice. Couple of things regarding the example of a regular person trying to connect with say Travis, Mark cuban or trump. - First of all I think those might be desired but are mostly less frequent cases so desig

   Great anecdote. Brian is a great guy though. I am not sure I completely understood your concern but I think it comes down to how do you create value for influential people. I think this is exactly where having customizable contact question

   i have a different take on this . I think buffer and pocket have done great work in this year. Obviously pinboard as well. I am not sure if I am the only one but I think the problem is bookmarking. On HCI terms, bookmarking is not intuitiv

   Thanks for your comment, Employers will do a percentage match towards the repayment. Also pay for the SaaS platform. Currently a lot of students do not automate it because of not having the minimum balance on the due date. One more problem

   No cuts. Ethically I dont think it is great to eat commissions out of repayments towards loan. I think it would work more like how gusto or small improvements works for ex. Another enterprise SaaS tool with per employee charge. Also there m

    In some countries it does. Just like how companies get tax credits on their spendings on free food, perks etc this might also be covered. Good point, I will research on it. All my employers have had great 401k match(upto 6%) and it is a key

    Yes jotting down notes from this thread to build a MVP. Essentially I wish to target one particular vertical(engineers) or segment(students) of users. Also in case of engineers, let them import their github data or simply allow them to uplo

    Thats a pretty new angle. I think the key is to make good quality messages somehow more valuable than mass messaging. Real currency is def one way to do so but might be a little too aggressive. One idea that I commented here was to only all

    I do too. i like some of the pulse/blog post articles from influencers. But lesser so since they opened it to everybody the quality plummeted and now i see articles from people I did not even know I was connected. Some of them are job

    Thanks for your advice. I think none of the social networks got groups right. Groups is a trick thing. I think the first flaw is creating membership of groups. Instead I think people are more interested in topics(HN, reddit, twitter, etc).

    Ah I could see but this is a conscious effort not to make it for recruiters. But it would be great if you could share some more notes from your learning :)

    Ya monetization can be tricky but to keep the platform user centric it would be nice to not charge users at all. Also not spamming users is very important. I think there will be other monetization opportunities without compromising on basi

    Great 2 cents !! I agree that social networks are tough. I did a whole course studying them. But the idea I am proposing is more of a community than a social network, although community aren't easier either. Agreed again,I do not need

    Yes thats the idea. If spam is of your interest then it does not qualify as spam. Yes the user can at anytime activate/deactivate/modify the form. Not looking for new opportunities at all, deactivate hireme form. Interested in bu

    Great question. We believe the response rate will motivate them. If I get a well formed personalized message from a recruiter on linkedin, I always respond even when I am not looking. yes there are some assumptions here but I think the resp

    OMG I am glad you asked that. Like traditional idea is to solve one side first. For first 1000 users there are only fellow chickens. So it is just engineers sharing work and profiles with fellow engineers. Once we have enough chickens, egg
