I'm working by myself on this project: zeel.ch I launched the private beta a few days ago and I badly need a co-founder to help me out with marketing/PR. Having also a hacker on board would be great. Is anybody interested?

I'm from Basel, Switzerland. Could you give a short description of what the idea behind this is and where you want to go with it?

In a nutshell, it's a document db coupled to a graph db to provide degree-of-separation based permissions on whatever users want to place on the web. I'm just extending Facebook's privacy settings to web content sitting outside of Facebook.

I added a short description at the top of the discussion. I've just generalized and extended privacy settings that Facebook and Google+ offer for content residing within their platforms. On the one hand it's possible to assign permissions to web content not embedded in a social utility, on the other, I can provide degree-of-separation ranking of the content users have created, for example comments/reviews. So, out of the hundreds (or thousands) hotel reviews on Tripadvisor, you could get just a bunch, written by people close to you (in a social-network degree-of-separation sense). If I could only get Tripadvisor on board...
