Hasn't this been tried before?
Don't underestimate the colts of running this nor the support needed (whether is free or not).
Yago,
Yes. The "idea" here is nothing earth shattering. But user experience will be. And a site built with what I have in mind cannot be copied easily. These are not features that you add to an existing site. Well you can add one or two. But to copy the whole concept for an existing major will be pretty expensive.
Regarding costs for me:
- I can get the site up and running for free
- I will be able to host (and handle traffic) upto 1 million users per day on my own for a total cost of a few thousand $. I can build my own servers and back end hosting, and know a few folks in the data center business to help me out.
I will have to figure out the business side of things. But a reasonable 7 figure VC/Angel investment is not out of question once prototype is ready.
