    Had to really focus on ignoring the little bugs flying around in the backround :-)
    Thank you very much Ross, everything you said has left me with a bunch to think about.

    Thank you very much Ross. You amazingly summarized all my doubts and fears. Actually, for me the point is still the same: if you don’t have enough money to hire a web developer to build your social networking site, you are pretty much forced to either find a technical co-founder or a financial co-founder or even applying for funding before having built your website, which is quite risky and tricky.
