Cool app! How do you guys plan to make $$?

The problem with social media outlets like twitter and Facebook is that they're too broad for small businesses to use. For example, ppl don't just go to Facebook or Twitter to connect with small businesses.

Any cons with large firms like Wilson Sonsini, meaning would they charge an arm and a leg once a startup gets funded?

Thanks Paul. Oh and I know you like to eat cheese. Anyways, so should I be picky about which firm to go with? Does anyone have any good law firm recommendations in the Silicon Valley?

You might want to focus on smaller bloggers since they're more desperate for content and more willing to write about you. Having multiple write ups from upcoming bloggers can can add up to more hits to your site.

Yeah I would totally quit and start your own company! Think of it this way since a lot of superfluous startups are dying, you'll have less competition. Plus, life is too short working for douchebags.

Does anyone have any ideas to get the gov't to ban daylight savings time?

I've used these design contests from the following forums. You'll be surprised of their quality. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=94 http://www.webmaster-talk.com/graphic-design-contests/

Thanks! That's great advice!

My answer is to check out sites like GetSatisfaction and Uservoice.com. As for the trolls, we have a karma point system in place.

Now he knows how business owners feels to receive a bad review.

Sites like yelp don't give value to the local businesses. A better solution is to allow the businesses to reply to the customer's post like a forum. My team and I are working on this right now and will be launching soon!

You should have some sort of contest to get more ppl to sign up and create content. For example, the user with the most votes of the day wins X.

That's a possibility. =) email me at nick [at] feedbackjar [dot] com

We're going to offer premium features for a monthly fee.

Exactly! That's how I got the idea! Both uservoice.com or getsatisfaction.com are doing really well.

But the difference is that we allow the business owner to reply back to the same thread.

There's more of a business owner and customer engagement.

We're not building another review. It's a customer service site where you can leave a question, suggestion, discussion, praise, or issue for the small business. The small business owner can sort by these posts and reply to the thread.

We even mail your feedback on postcards for unclaimed businesses on FeedbackJar.

Think of us as Getsatisfaction.com for small businesses.

Incentives like giving early adopters a better chance to become administrators?

I find that screentoaster.com is pretty straight forward and NO INSTALL required.

There are also a lot of weekend Hackers who have full time jobs during the work week. Does anyone know if there are weekend cowork programs out there?

I like how the UI is very clean and straight forward. Not sure if this technology will be used by the masses in the US. It would be a lot cooler if you allowed your users to type in special symbols like copyright or emoticons.
