Very good point and you might be right, but that said perhaps at least your initial audience is going to skew more towards those who are already informed and have opinions on the matter, so it might be something better for later?
That aside, very cool concept and I'll come back and check it out more tomorrow (late here). I find any effort to evolve social media pretty interesting, actually tried (and failed) with an idea in this space myself a couple of years back. It's hard and I hope you succeed. Also noticed from browsing the topics you're doing startup school - me too (Box CI) - good luck with everything!
