Social Mashup

This is a web 2.0 social networking project. A mashup concept between [login to view URL] and some other services. This should be a very fun and interesting project! The basic idea is to setup a quite simple site by combining the best elements from different services. Then attract members to the site through a viral caimpaign. Finally power it up with Google AdWords or similar programs. You need some experience from sites like [login to view URL], and social bookmarking sites like [login to view URL] (at least as a frequent user). You also need some skills in algorithm construction (for instance we'll need to come up with an algorithm to find "related stuff" -- I have an idea on how to do this). Important: There are some different ways to go about this project and some technical and UI options to decide on. For instance: Should it be developed from scratch or using open source software. We will have to discuss this, and the details of the project more closely before you actually can give a correct bid amount. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
