Here's the deal: I really like your ideas ... what bothers me, however, is that I can't tell much about you from this blog.

It's curious that you're hiding your name (I guess if you're worried about losing your current job, that's understandable). A little more personal data (maybe even a picture) would be nice.

If I was going to get in bed with a co-founder (figuratively speaking), I would need to know more than those bullet points. I'd even go so far as to say that it's more important than the idea itself.

Callmeed, I completely agree. The quality of the cofounder is paramount. My goal is to find people who are interested in the concepts and then share more info about myself. As I mentioned on the site, my current job is awesome and I'm trying to fly under the radar a bit. Great point though.
