Just found this through the TechVibes post today. Pretty cool stuff. I'm actually working at a startup that has some similar ideas, though where you're doing something based more on social news aggregators, we're doing something more like twitter. Anyways, very cool and good luck!
My names Brandon and I'm 21. I go to college and this is a website I've been working on for the last few months.

There's still a lot of work to be done but I think this is something some people here may enjoy.
