Unless your time is worth less than $.01 / hr, this isn't profit :)

should be "by invitation only" to keep it exclusive. ask every new member to invite only the three coolest friends he has. Everybody getting an invite will use it, just not to lose this chance (invitations only valid for three days or so, decide now!)

(do I get free membership for this great idea?)

Rule number 1 of the club: No offensive names or locations

And member #7 (of 24 thus far) is named Tits McGhee, from Whale's Vagina (a slang term for San Diego, it seems.)

Also may I suggest restricting early members to only those with @Harvard.edu email addresses?

Full credit to you for producing a concept to live, money generating site.

Equally like your tactics via twitter, and buying the domain ( I might borrow that! ) to gain members.

BUT... This is a horrible example of what budding internet entrepreneurs should be aiming for. Truly horrid.

Yes, its amazing how many people confuse 'making a profit' with 'working for free and not losing money'.

I agree, $0.07 isn't stunning (it's only going to get me a half billionth of my jet), but to break even in such a short space of time I found interesting.

Though could it not be considered profit in some form, as I'm working for free on the project? It's the site's profit, rather than my own?
