>Sorry, I was just after some basic advice.
No worries. I'm more of a slacker.. lacking motiviation. So just the thought of working along side someone in the samiliar boat thought to maybe help facilitate... but no matter.
>maybe there are some websites specifically for this sort of networking
Isn't this it?
>social site that combines RSS/Atom managament
Isn't that Feedburner? since all WP site and twitter alike all have feeds minus Facebook where they want to keep everything to themselves.
>I fall short for lack of experience
No one has experience. iFart didn't seek it and found fame. Angry birds was accidental as in most trendy apps.
Best to just develop it. Talk incessantly about on every startup forums you can find.. There is no formula for going viral in this day and age of fly by nite websites and apps.
My best marketing tool.. my girlfriend..she's Words with Friends Angry Bird and every other trending app/game person. So if she likes.. it's going to be a hit. Suggesting you seek out the same.
good luck. -QuasiPreneur

Just sent an email. Actually, I was addressing one of the previous post, but the entries were displayed in a wonky order... so sorry if you thought that was directed your way.
Anyway, yeah I get the Feedburner/WP thing, but that was really my starting point. I was working on something else and sort of found my way to this. I was somewhat frustrated by some of the limitations with what was out there, so I went about doing it myself.
So yeah, having taken it this far, I'm very keen to work with a couple of other people to explore the concept further and to basically get it out in front of some users.
Thanks again and give a shout if you have a chance.

Sorry, I was just after some basic advice... maybe there are some websites specifically for this sort of networking or something? I'm really just throwing it out there in a generic sort of way to see where others might have started or lessons learned etc. because I'm sure there are many others in the same general posistion.
To be specific though, I have been working on a social site that combines RSS/Atom managament with networking to allows users to publish and share content in interesting ways. For example, users can copy from another user's posting and receive updates (to the actual feed) when the author edits it. I have been fine tuning the the actual website, but I would like to begin extending the idea to a mobile app - which is one area where I fall short for lack of experience. I would imagine the project will develop much further with fresh eyes looking at it.

Your description is too vague. I think you would get much better offers / interest if you added a lot more specifics.
So you want people to help you with your problems for free, and you're not willing to at least capture our interest by telling us what you're working on?
I'm in the same boat including knee deep into my own projects. You in the Valley? Email me: Robert quasipreneur.com

Anyway, I wonder if anyone is aware of where I might start looking and maybe what to avoid? Any useful sites, etc? Since I am living off of my own savings, I would need to find people who are willing to work as partners rather than as an employees, but they could obviously be located anywhere. I hope to be able to find some seed funding soon, but this will really only become relevant when everything is ready for scaling up.
