Hire a Stanford grad to help with the biznes and then launch. Does your company have to offer anything that anyone really wants or needs? Absolutely not. Take WeFi, for example. You set up a wireless access point. You share it. You can talk to people who are sharing it, provided they’re not just ganking your hotness and ignoring the fact that they have to install/visit some Website to use your Wi-Fi.

Yes, friends. This is a social networking Wi-Fi thingie. Want to stalk strangers? Want to be all like “Hi! I see you like Wi-Fi. Can we meet? No?” There used to be a phone booth back in Pittsburgh, where I went to college. You’d walk by it and a guy up in some apartment overlooking the booth would call the booth if he liked the way you looked. He’d essentially do some heavy breathing and ask you up. This sounds kind of like the Web 2.0 version of that.
