Don’t run from ‘trust’ research indicates that individuals ‘trust’ people ‘like them’. You’re helping them find people with similar interest which establishes trust.

Sounds like a fun project and something that can grow into something big, thanks for all the clarifications.

Sorry for eating all the pizza!

I’m nos sure I’d define coRank as a site that “lets you share with people you trust, and that trust you”, as there really isn’t a reciprocal relationship in that “trust”, plus I really don’t need to trust the people, just their opinion on certain topics (I call it “people whose opinion you value”). I know I’m being picky but I also think the word “trust” is being overused today in the social networking arena and in the case of coRank it may be misleading.

A for investment, well, luckily coRank is not a company by itself, just a side project we put together. That’s not to say it won’t thrive (honestly I don’t know) or that we don’t care much about it (I love it and have put a lot of love into it, so I do care but it certainly is not the “all eggs in one basket” tale and regardless of its success I think it’s going to be a fun ride. We’ll see.

Good thing you’ve got to try the pizza. When I arrived it was all gone – and I was very hungry
