In my original post I had in mind kind of an infrastructure for smart
mobs. Being able to quickly connect venture capital, entreprenuers, and
developers. But more importantly not just people that can do the job but
people who are fervently pasionate about the technology and have a
reputation among their piers. I'm currently in a small startup and
looking down the road at the task of finding the right developers and
sweating making the right choice. It would be great to do what Delicious
does to bookmaks but with social networks. Imagine taging someone you
know with things like java, highlyproductive, friend. Everyone could
then look at all the tags that the community uses for an individual and
like ebay know how reputable they are. The majority of hires are done
through referals from people you know. This would open that up enormously.

Was there any conclusion as to whether this is a bad idea or not? I
don't hate it, particularly.
There are several features I'd like to get done beforehand though
(privacy and groups.)
I don't think we'll have sending broadcast messages, though.

It would be cool if you could tag yourself and search the tags that
other users apply to themselves. Even better would be to send a
message
to all the people with a particular tag pattern.
