This idea is awesome. You clearly have a good grasp of social networks. My and all my friends wanna join it as soon as it comes up. You better think about scaling before launch because you'll probably have 100 million users overnight. That's figuring conservatively if only 1/5 Facebook users switch over. Then you'll be a billionaire just like Zuck instead of a talentless career software engineer.
One time, at Harvard, me and my buds thought up a website. It was gonna be like Myspace, but, uh, like better and stuff. You know, better features and just better. We were too tired from coming up with the idea to do anymore from there, so we went up to this guy and were like, "hey, we have this startup. It's like a Myspace, but better, and like for colleges maybe, I guess. You wanna like do the coding for it?" He agreed, but then he stole our idea, that we put so much thought into. We done the hard part. He just swooped in and made some code to glue our brilliant ideas together. Of course we sued him cause we got the monies, and we ended up with millions, just like patent trolls, but better.
Now I have a new idea. It's like a webapp, but better than webapps today. Anybody wanna come up with some code to help this idea come together? But if you read this, and you try to steal my idea, I'm gonna come after you.
It always astounds me that 30-year-olds or older think they represent the average Facebook user. I have never seen anyone older than 30 write anything intelligent about Facebook. You people are not real users. Please understand this. How you "use" Facebook is so completely different from how people in college and recent grads use Facebook. For you, most of your pictures were what you actually posted yourself. For real Facebook power users, the vast, vast majority of photos come from other people. It's becoming clear that understanding of Facebook is the clearest dividing line between those in their late twenties and beyond and those younger. You pretend users really sound like old men shouting at kids to stay off your lawn. Why don't you at least try to educate yourselves about how Facebook actually works?
You have been banned.
You clearly have no concept of what it means to be a Top 50 or even Top 500 site.

Is it true that 80% of YC startups use Rails?

I'm going to collect samples from potential mates and send them in to see what they're hiding from me.
