Additional Info
I'm planning to start my next project that is going to be awesome. It's an ambitious project, but we are not taking on Google, with some very top secret algorithm. Instead, this project is going to amaze the social networking world. The WWW is filled with all sort of information and using that we will build this next generation social network. Twitter is the IT for microblogging, Pownce is the IT for file sharing and chat. What we are building will the IT for social networking.
Who can join me?
I will a web designer who has an eye with web 2.0 design. Knows great user experience is the key to success. Loved designs like Pownce, Digg, StumbleUpon and many other web 2.0 design.

Writing clean and cross browser compatibible HTML/CSS is needless is to say. It will be awesome and a major plus if you can write rhtml, the view template language for Ruby on Rails.
What's the idea?
Since this idea has never been done before, I cannot reveal much here. All I can say is we will be indexing a lot of pages, we will need to create a widget, it has to do with blogs, the end product is a huge social network and will help our users discover more friends ( real friends, not the fake friend ) and connect with people in a really unique way.
