IMO, you need to do 2 things to be successful with this app: 1. Integrate with major IM services, AIM, Jabber etc, and have your own "Say Hi service" in there for LBS chat. 2. Put something around the app, as in make it do more than just ch

Good job, overall I like it. I understand your audience and the need to do this in a simple format. Mint & Wesabe are US focused and don't cater to your audience. One thought is to make this available to other audiences - e.g. Chinese,

working on a startup is not a sprint, its a marathon and you need good health to run it. Maintaining health is vital to your thought process and your ability to make better decision. As an entrepreneur, I workout 5 days a week (sometimes mo
