I made something, but don't know what to do.

Post by arewhyfour »

Ok, I made this website to be like this MySpace killer (which it'll never be), but I got bored with it and left it alone (only 100 or so people signed up)... now like a few months later I check it out and I'm like "wow, this could have potential"

But I don't know what to do to it, how to advertise, what to add, etc...

If you want to check it out it's at buddyin.com (I wont link it directly as to not "spam")

you can use the test account:

user: testuser
pass: password

But i'd seriously like ideas, I thought a PHP coder forum could help me and this was the first one I found from a google search.

You have Google adds on your main page.... :roll: If you are looking for enhancements you may want to ask your users. They're the ones using it.... :roll:

I chose 'any' 'both' and 'both', because I don't live in the US.

Good Job on the site. Hopefully it will grow like a myspace.

How long did it take you to create the entire site?

That didn't change the fact that it didn't just display everybody...

The login no longer works, so I can't really look around.

However, as to what to do next, opensource it, and start a project. You'll get plenty of people that want to help improve it!
