Very well done, you obviously put a lot of thought and work into this. So my question is: What is the end game? Was this this a learning exercise or do you intend to run with this idea (or hope that some reader picks up the ball)? I do have to question your $$$ figures. I don't see how it's possible, based on all the features you've spec'd out, to build the site for $5500 (development + logo + design). I know you were at SXSW and one of the panels dealt with figures behind some web apps. The numbers they released, Cost to build - to get it live: DropSend - $48k FreshBooks - $20k Mayasmom - $70k Wesabe - $200k Steve,
