My latest idea...all comments welcomed please - GoFuckYourself.com

Just_Dave · 01-10-2005, 07:36 PM

I am going to be starting a dating site peer to peer.

Why am I sharing this?

Because I really want your comments and suggestion (because it matters) and I already have the technology and the wherewithall to do this immediately and I could give a fuck less if you try and copy me

There are 70 million people that are file-sharing everyday..they are sharing files of music, porn, but no peerdating yet.

p2p'ers would put in search terms like "hot blond women" or "busty babe" and what would come up would be a drm'ed video file of a member of our dating site which would have been submitted by that individual. If the file-sharer likes what he or she has come across..they would then click "proceed" which will enable them to join right there and then on the license window.

Could work

Screaming · 01-10-2005, 07:49 PM

sounds great to me, hope it works

Spunky · 01-10-2005, 07:50 PM

Intresting idea...good luck with it

abyss_al · 01-10-2005, 07:53 PM

interesting.... could work

Babagirls · 01-10-2005, 07:59 PM

damn boy, finally something 100% original, could work & interesting!! i love it!

MGibson · 01-10-2005, 08:01 PM

So its like a big irc chat room.

Okay and ?

What doesn't IRC have that what your proposing does?

Good idea, but man... You don't tell stuff like that on a public forum until you go live

The last thing you want is a Russian coder working all night to release this piece of software and make a few headlines.

I am 98 percent there and I will take my chances because I want everyone's input...If the Russian wants, he can copy this next week anyway.

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:09 PM

Several things to think about:

1. Many will be afraid of exposing personal information in a program that might contain spyware/adware that they're not aware of.

2. Why do it Windows-based? The whole world is shifting to software on demand anyway. Don't forget that many will want to access it from a friend's house, vacation, etc.

3. It's a nice gimmick, but again, what will set you apart from existing dating sites (don't get me wrong, I think existing sites SUCK and there's a lot of room for new players, but still.. Windows-based?)

4. This would have worked great 4 years ago. Nowadays many people have pics stored in all kinds of image hosts, blogs, etc.

5. Privacy advocates will say customers are exposed to more risks as opposed to a true web-based application (IP shit). Thing is, it will have many teenagers using it, so parents will probably agree with them.

A few of these things we have alrea actored in and a few othe tigs yutin now wil...his is the eason for this thread

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:16 PM

Why not make it web-based? (I'm assuming you're doing it Windows-based, correct me if I'm wrong). What will being on Windows give you that an advanced web-app won't?

SexuallyDriven · 01-10-2005, 08:16 PM

sounds good

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:17 PM

By the way, I'm just playing devil's advocate here. I think the idea has potential but MANY obstacles to overcome.

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:18 PM

Also, if you ever reach critical mass, MSN/AOL/YAHOO will just have 2 Russian programmers add a similar feature to their IM client.

I created this thread for exactly this purpose..I want to hear everything you have to say.

We are doing it Windows based for marketing purposes via DRM.. the actual website will be web-based.

wes · 01-10-2005, 08:21 PM

patent it.

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:21 PM

FIVE years ago a company I worked with tried to do a Match.com copycat with members' videos for download. The market was absolutely not ready for that back then. Could be it is now, I don't know, haven't been much into it in the past few years. Webcams are very popular and it might take off pretty nice.

There are certainly going to be hurdles to overcome, but I think it has enough potential that it would be worth your time, effort and money to give it a go.

I think we are getting close but, I still believe that the members need incentives in order to send their videos.

You seem to be a pretty knowledgeble guy.

azguy · 01-10-2005, 08:27 PM

You should be looking for members these days. Go look for them. Ask them if they want to join and give them free membership for a year. I'd start a project like this in one area (SF Bay Area, just like Craigslist). Get 500 people to submit videos or come to some studio. Put an ad on SF's Craigslist and you'll get 1,000 responses in a day.

It's an EXTREMELY unique project. Can't say much about it until we're 2-3 weeks away. Although it will take at least 6 MONTHS for someone to catch up and do the same.. I sleep better this way

Anyone without an advanced degree in IRC has no chance of figuring out how to use it for one thing ... whether anyone considers this a shot or not, it's a techno-geek hangout ... Mainstream people don't even know how to spell it.

If you are going to do something like this, it has to be the *opposite* of IRC: That is, dumbed down as much as possible. Point, Click, Get porn.

BuckLover · 01-10-2005, 09:19 PM

OK! I understand the concept of a dating site, and I understand the concept of peer to peer!

But i always understood peer to peer was for file sharing?

I am unclear how you would make this work? members would be able to download a particular members profile???

Obviously you don't want to meet a girl that doesn't have a nice pussy or perfect spacing between her tits.. So with p2p you can download her video clips and make sure she's right for you.

Adulter · 01-10-2005, 09:22 PM

Looks good to me... let us know ;)

JizzMonkey · 01-10-2005, 09:25 PM

orgasmo · 01-10-2005, 09:34 PM

good luck on your idea.. try to get a patent or something if your really the first and it's unique

comeplay · 01-10-2005, 09:35 PM

the only way this would be of any use is if it were p2p direct webcam chat searchable my location and sex and shit BUT then security issues would arise and people wouldnt feel safe running the app. I say this because alot of the major dating sites allow people to record and upload video clips and even sound clips so whats the point of having a p2p place to do it?

Nysus · 01-10-2005, 10:14 PM

Peer-to-peer filing share is so popular because they're getting free music, free software, and free porn. If you could get people (pay?) to submit a video profile, sexy or not, and then have those videos distributed free in a peer-to-peer system and then have the people who like the others join to chat with them... it could possibly work, but you'd have to pay people $5-$10+ to submit videos, and then charge $5-$10+ to join, and hopefully you have more joins than videos you pay for.
