I honestly think your application could leverage facebooks userbase to gain traction.

But then the problem of monetization becomes a lot larger.

If you dont want to do that, let me import my gmail contacts or yahoo contacts and pick them, then have their email responses threaded. or dont make them log in to answer, just let them click a link and enter the answer.




Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not too worried about monetization right now. Do you mean I should create some sort of Facebook widget to link to my site or just try to get the word out on the facebook?


I was suggesting you create a facebook application so that way you can get users faster, cause then they only have to click instead of enter a form and sign up for yet another internet application.

AND you could integrate with clickpass. :)

You might want to be. As Joe Kraus said, if you don't put your business plan into beta when you put your site into beta then you haven't really gone into beta or launched yet.


I think he means a Facebook app. That way you don't need to explicitly email your friends.

But I think there's currently a Facebook app that does something similar, can't recall its name...Questions or something.


If you make a facebook app, you can piggyback off their friend list (=address book) to make things easier for your users.
