yeah, sounds good to me. i looked at elgg as well, i believe one should create this social engine from scratch. It could be innovative and who knows, we might be able to make it better than elgg it self. your thoughts?

So any plans to work on it :D
local··on Looking for partners for a start-up
Well, i am a developer, i know a few languages including Java,C++, C#, Groovy, and a few other scripting languages.

I had a different entrepreneur tech idea in my mind at the time i posted this question here. Now since there's no place on the web to find coder-hippies ;) or business/marketing entrepreneur people, why not create a place for all those entrepreneur students who are looking to connect to one another. I don't mind anyone stealing this idea and working on it, but if there's anyone who would like to join me in creating this application please buzz me.

I am living in a Asian country, and geographical location would not effect a startup.

let me know, what you think :)

local··on Entrepreneurship idea
Will there be any funding if i have a startup, since i am from the subcontinent(south asia) and not living close to any Sillicon Valley.
local··on Are there any Social Networks dedicated for people with special needs?
Thank you for your replies. I am talking about Amputees (who doesn't have limbs to use a keyboard or mouse) or Blind (who are unable to read). It's highly unlucky that Facebook or any other social network will read my post and make the suitable changes to there products.

The reason why i suggested to have a different social network for disables is that, it's easy to maintain the application, add features and improvements to it (that would suit disables). If we are to integrate our disable friendly social media with Facebook or any other Social Network, we will definitely come across issues while trying to integrate there social network to our application. Every time Facebook changes a functionality or adds a feature, we have to constantly keep updating/modifying our application to adhere to it. So having our own social media created will definitely overcome this problem.

Recently i created an application that could send a tweet or an email by patients who has neuro-muscular disorders (total-paralysis). what i found is that, social media could definitely make an impact of the lives of disables as they could share there day-to-day hardships and triumphs in life. However, i agree with the two of you that creating a separate social network for disables would separate able users with disables, so i hope existing organizations who are involved in social media would come forward and address this issue.

Your thoughts on this...
