I have no interest in being part of such a ridiculous fad.

However, I do run an advertising company and I would be glad to invest in your website if you let me sort through the information that people submit, so that I can direct advertising to them.
All their data will be anonymised (you can trust me) and they would get to see ads for things that they definitely want, but unfortunately don't know about yet. This is a public service. There are products which are guaranteed to make people happy and fill the emptiness in their souls, but at the moment, not everyone knows what these products are. I'm sure you can see what a travesty this is and how important it is that we resolve it.

So I will help your business, and in a few years we can put it on the stock market. And you know how the stock market works - right?

Blueflare, you are why I think this can work. You have shown selflessness, empathy, compassion. You want to get the word out, you want to help people, unconcerned about your own welfare.

I say let's do it. I hadn't thought of how far-reaching this thing really could be. You have opened my eyes. We have a responsibility, nay, a FSM-given duty to help people understand their options for consuming.

I don't know how the stock market works but I feel safe in my circle of co-developers that you will lead me down the right path and do what's best for us all.

so maybe we could call it facialbook?
