1) How it looks on my monitor: http://i.imgur.com/iSjP8ae.png - might not want to repeat that title image like that. 2) I would really like to see if there are any mentors relevant to my interests before I have to make yet another account on yet another website. 3) I really think mentorship is the best way to really become good at a skill. Hope it goes well for you.
Here's a feature I'd love to see.. A way to ask a question and let people answer it. Results could be ranked in term of "top mentor", or other people could vote on it.
The idea is that it's hard to filter through lots of mentors.. trying to find one that match your needs, then go after him/her, etc. Something way more organic would be me asking a question and people interested in my problems could help me solve it. And, as you help others, you get a better karma too.. which put your questions in front of mentor with good karma..
Personally, I'd love to see a feed with lots of various startup questions from all kind of entrepreneurs.. be able to see what famous founders are asking. Could be anything really. From "Which is the best landing page?" to "Anyone knowing a good UX in ".
Anyhow, congrats again on the launch, hit me up if you want to chat about it.

The other issue is, great mentors aren't usually plainly available on a website; the very act of finding their contact info/introduction and making a convincing pitch for "I'm worth meeting with" is a great filter for experts who (unlike YC, for example) don't have the bandwidth for an open application process.

come on, 1) is not a big issue... Not big enough to put it first anyway!

The brilliant can be left to blaze their own obscure bildungsroman.
Congrats for sticking with your startup idea even though lots of people probably told you "Another social network?!" : ) Here's a feature I'd love to see..

This is so true, but I think a lot of people haven't had the opportunity to find good role-models in life and something like this could be a first step in the right direction. The brilliant can be left to blaze their own obscure bildungsroman.
congrats, this would help me on finding a mentor. it seems its harder to find one on a developing country.
