thanks, shoppourri!

Our packedwarehouse.com project is almost 2 years old now. We started much the same way as dfernanda is starting her Water World Project~ finding a few like-minded entrepreneurs and starting it up! We made a lot of great contacts here at SuN to help along the way. And, we often search out startupnation entrepreneurs that wholesale when we`re looking to add new products.

Are you thinking about selling any water-saving products on your site, dfernanda? If so, I could keep a look out for those types of items, if you`re interested.

Although I may have been interested in helping, I was quickly changed to a different point of view when I clicked on "Classifieds".

Why in the waterworld would you have "Men Seeking Men" etc. on a website that is supposed to be promoting the health & safety of the worlds water supplies?

Why not have a social networking page that encourages the maintainers, manufacturers (of water related products) and users to join?

Also, your Classifieds will attract people who could not care less about water issues.

I worked in Public Works of a small town in Alberta and part of my job was testing & maintenance of the water supply. So I would at least post my opinions on your site if I felt people were going to read it, but as is they will be looking for sex, unrelated sales, unrelated jobs etc.

I feel as if this is also a misuse of the .org extension.

The site is not live in any way. I am using open source modules that will need to be changed and modified or taken out. I am glad that you a re looking at the site that closely.

I am not even sold on the name and domain name as I would like to truly form a team and build all of it together.

I felt it was better to build something to show the potential of a social platform and then build from there instead of just writing down the idea.

In any case, the site work for the most part but many modules are still not ready like the video part which I am very close to adding. All classifieds items can be changed and the search can be modified and improved.

Thx
