It sounds interesting, however the dependency on Facebook makes me not want to even try it. What about it requires Facebook integration?
We just needed it for faster integration. And we want to steal market share from FB. :)

#54We built this during Startup Weekend San Jose this weekend. It's built on node.js, socket.io, mongodb, redis and knockoutjs on the front end. Check it out - social networking in reverse!
mongo and redis - aren't both of those designed to serve basically the same purpose? why both?

#56I don't know about others, but anything that requires me to log in with Facebook ends up stopping me from using it because I don't want all my contacts to see that I signed up for it.
fragsworth. We will implement other logins soon. This was just an MVP and we wanted to have something "in the real world" to avoid people posting racist items.

If I can't see why I might want to join without joining, I'm not going to join, plain and simple.

I think you forgot the "V" in MVP... If we are free to be assholes in the social network and say what we really think ('cuz we are all assholes deep inside :-) ), the very last thing I want to do is tie it to my real-life account on FB. Easy for you guys to implement, yes. "Viable"? I think not.
