I need help. Linked-In has a gap in how it handles recommendations. Sites like http://onething.com and http://talentag.com have picked up on this and have already launched. I have been working on my own version of this here and there for a couple of months, but I need help. I am a back-end/database developer with crappy front-end skills, and for this to really work the interface has to be right.
If you're a Rails developer with some spare time and want to work on a startup (part time is fine, as I have a full time job), shoot me an email at maxdemarzi AT gmail DOT com and we can go from there.
My half-(ass)built prototype is at http://getvouched.com . It's not much, but I'm just making the point that I'm not an "idea guy" looking to get someone else to do all the work.
If you don't like the idea of working on something someone else has already done... remember it's not about the idea, it's about the execution. Both of the sites above are making what I believe are mistakes in their approach to this problem.
Thanks, Max
