It's a good idea! :) One of the problems that I foresee is the critical mass problem. Is the app as useful if you're the only one using it, as it would be if it had 100,000 members?

Good work though!

Critical mass is definitely a problem, that's why we have seeded it with meetup data so it doesn't look like a ghost town for new users. The plan is to go after university students once fall semester starts. We think a great use case is to broadcast to your dorm "who wants to go for a drink"!
