Hi, Scott:
THANK YOU! Great feedback. Here's some background information:
1. I agree, MyBankSux is soo childish and I'd NEVER seek investment for something called MyBankSux. We created the domain for testing, and didn't want to tarnish SpotCred.com while we were building the concept. We'll move it to MyBankComplaint.com
2. Complaint based site: Have you seen http://Gri.pe? or http://Amplicate.com? or http://twitter.com/#!/Bofa_Help ?
3. The website is a front for the Mobile app we've envisioned. The concept is to simplify customer service, rather than complaints only. The concept is one whereby you open the app, you select the store, and you submit (no message is needed) a request for company to contact you. Have you heard of the "UnHappy" initiative in India? http://bit.ly/e7LYmg
4. How do we make money? Advertisements are not needed. We can monetize by: 4.a. Charging companies to integrate with their existing CRM or Social_CRM systems. We have a one user, very rough portal for free access. 4.b. Providing "Voice of Customer" analytics http://bit.ly/iFN7Le 4.c. White-label and license - Your companies customer service app
I agree, we need to kill MyBankSux. 100%
Given the information above, should we kill the concept?
Thanks, Scott!

10,000 Bank Complaints, per day in the UK alone: http://bit.ly/gMZF4u
:) Sure, it's the easiest way to submit a bank complaint.
Formed the Idea from the "UnHappy" concept: http://bit.ly/fq05fF
Rather than call the company, you select company name and authenticate (via FB, Google, etc). The company then contacts you to resolve your problem.
will do, thanks hrasm!

Nice!
"if it becomes available" I would pursue my passion. In the meantime, I would stick with what I have - rather than risk something I do not.
Not sure this will help, but here are my two cents:
1. Are you a Celiac? http://www.celiac.com/
2. Advice I received from a Taxi Driver -- "If you're having a bad day, walk away." He referred to his 'bad days' as those when he didn't make money, but his advice struck a cord with me: If you cannot do anything about it, walk away and try again another day.
with or without the drug sales ;)
If you had funds to pay developers, would you still need a technical co-founder? Could you use a tool like Axure to build a prototype and pitch it to investors?

GL! We should get them around 11 EST. Do you know of a discussion board for TechStars applicants - like YC applicants created last round? Someone should create one.
Salesforce is king of customization, but there are many niche (small) players that may be considered 'better' in their respective fields.

It's the market potential, rather than the country of origin, that I make and support my statement on. Though India is home to many intelligent and dedicated developers, I believe the next 'FB' killer will be developed in the States, but not for the States [market].
The next 'FB' will come from India

You don't need to know how to build it, rather how to explain what need be built. Oo yeah.. cash helps too!

In a hurry??? Casino, Scratch-off tickets, pyramid schemes ;)
