Well, that's a lot of pent-up supply of side projects! It seems like a natural buyer would be someone like a student who wants to kick the tires of the whole running a small business thing, but start with a better baseline than merely "from scratch", mitigating some market risks, as it were, and reusing existing code. What I like about this is that rather than all the research and development going to waste, it's hel…

I think this is the flip side of "business guy seeks technical co-founder". I would love to see a site that partnered up developers with marketers. I can't be the only developer that realizes that they suck at marketing.

How does this work? I just tried clicking through and it returned a list of friends who added me. If there was no list of people who deleted me, does that mean it hasn't happened? Was it working properly?

I'm going to assume that it saves a record of your friendships when you first login. Then every time you come back to the site it looks at your current friend list and tells you the names of the people that dropped off.

If it does work this way, this is a breach of the Facebook developer terms of service. Data may be cached for specific amounts of time, but long term storage is not allowed. When this app gets big enough to notice, Facebook will shut it down

http://learnto.com - A fun side project I worked on that allows people to learn and teach (in person) with those in their community. Target market was medium/large organizations -- think large incubators, co-working spaces, companies. These separate organizations would have their own landing pages, learning cultures, etc.

This seems interesting, I'd like to know the details. What's your email?

Has paying users, and demand for features. But because of time constraints, I am not able to give enough time for this project. So anyone really interested in taking this further, feel free to drop me an email at: virendra.rajput567[at]gmail.com
