Does PG expect both founders to be good speakers during the YC interview?
What if one is a Steve Jobs and one is a Steve Wozniak? (public talker vs engineer talker)
Right now, social data is scattered around. Your tweets, check-ins, reviews, wall-posts are on different services. Imagine if they were centralized, and the application AND the user could control who gets to query this data.
Applications can query on the user, query on the venue, query on anything--in a very structured way--and the database would return the results.
Of course, the applications who post the data would get something in return--whether it's money, users, or whatever value.
Is there a market for this "open database?" Will this idea work?
Please let me know your thoughts on the opportunity and value of this idea!
