I had this exact same idea few months ago but LinkedIn already has a nice resume generator:

Issues:
1) Requires too much effort (rolling over hover states) to dig out information.
2) Pairing circles and rectangles as a node make it hard to parse when your eyes are scanning the page. These shapes don't naturally go together.
3) URL's are truncated too short. On the bottom left of the live demo, you see "/account/listi..." twice, and they're actually different URL's. For some websites I can see this becoming a major issue.
4) The rounded circular graphs with the blue and red look nice, but doesn't convey the information very well. Any type of circular chart (pie chart, tachometer graphs, etc.) is not recommended.
Suggestions: I would consolidate the information for each node and show all of the visible and rollover data into a single box. Use varying font sizes, colors, and weights for necessary emphasis. Instead of the circular graphs, use a horizontal bullet graph[1] along the top of each node. Use the bullet graph to display the historical high and low as the bar, and the daily range as the background (or vice versa). This way, the user can scan the page looking at the bullet graphs along the top, and then if something strikes there eye as unusual look below and examine the data.
Where does MBA's versus engineers ever come up? Jobs' speech is about creating a competitive advantage by building a premium product and focusing on a specific user - something eBay doesn't have the freedom to do.
I'm building mobile app with HTML5/CSS3/Backbone.js/PhoneGap and it's an excellent stack that allows you to build native-like apps for multiple OS's. Everyone I've demo'd the app to has no idea it's not written in Obj-C..
I doubt TechStars or any other incubator is looking for the same traits, or understand people the same way.
"Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers created, edited, and organized by everyone who uses it. The most important thing is to have each question page become the best possible resource for someone who wants to know about the question." - from Quora's About page
A Question and it's related answers can be archivable (Who invented the atomic bomb?), temporal (What is the current status of Zynga's zLive?), or anywhere in between (Who is the lead UI designer for Mac OS X?). The design is ONLY composed of real-time design patterns, mostly taken from Facebook and Twitter: mandatory account registration, asymmetrical following, news feed, real-time notifications, user messaging system, etc.
There is NO focus on archivable questions. The website is based around questions and answers happening right now, which isn't what Q/A is all about.
Google Path has a nice ring to it and would integrate well within their current product lineup.
The majority of website owners refuse to pay for analytics, and instead opt for GA. I think we're seeing the effects of this with heavy discounts for low traffic sites from both KissMetrics and MixPanel.
