Some good points there. Initailly we thought of a simple web site for people to meet – put up a project and people apply. No boards/blogs etc. Now we are getting into the part where we have to get the word out, this may prove to be hard for a simple site as this.

Maybe you right about being more explicit – we had thought of taking a softer approach and let people use it how they see fit, but it may be the case that we need to steer people in a direcion.

Thanks again!

No problem, we’re always glad to take part in the Tuesday Push.

The reason I brought up the public / private issue was because when I heard the name at first I thought it would be more public than it is. I guess there are enough message boards or blogs or even Twitter for that though.

Just a quick thought – there are a million people with ideas, and I would guess far fewer with the skills to realise them properly. The people with the ideas will most likely find and use your site anyway, so it’s up to you to attract the people with the skills to visit and apply.

Maybe you need to be more open and aggressive in how you sell the benefits of your site to the people with the skills? Maybe something like “Invest Your Skills” or “Equity For Talent” as your byline?

Best of luck with the site anyway. Hopefully it helps get a few start ups off the ground!

Cheers,

Thanks for the review. The site is not really a message board as there is concept of a dialogue. You put up your project and people apply to it. These applications are not public.

It would be suited to a person starting up who needs skills and is prepared to give up equity to get them in.

Cheers
