stockray··on Ask HN: Would appreciate feedback on our startup
Thanks! It's indeed similar, but twiDAQ is built around Twitter activity / performance, whereas we are a completely standalone exchange market. We don't consider ourselves a social media site: our end goal is to engage users with real-world, offline properties, and we're using stock-trading as a metaphor for this engagement.

Point taken! We'll add other logins in the future.

Makes sense: our business model is not gambling. We want to offer:

- Users a way to show their support (at first, with virtual dollars, but pending JOBS Act implementation, with real investment) for the businesses, products, and causes they care about;

- Businesses, products, and causes a way to find, track, and engage their supporters and eventually turn them into investors.

Thanks fearless. The short answer is: absolutely. These are the questions that drove us to this product, and we feel very passionate about our answers, but it's helpful to see idea validation articulated in such a clear, concise way.
