Dude, honestly...you don't need big bank accounts to start big projects...

Worry more about getting people to use it...for that...you need to get it finished and see how people respond...

Facebook, MySpace and just about every other popular web service today started on a small scale and exploded because the idea was right.

Better act fast before Google thinks of it.. :O

I had an idea a month or two ago that I wanted to put into action, something that hadn't been done much before (though there is one company that does it, but not on the automated, dynamic scale I was thinking of, so it's mostly an untapped idea).. then literally less than a month after me thinking about it, Google announced the idea as their next big thing. lol True story.

I've decided that a team of us here at devnet (some of the most talented coders in the world ;)) would be ideal for such a project, and I've decided to take on the project with a group rather than just market the idea.

You can read my post in the volunteer forum if you're interested.
