What have I been doing?

Sifting through mountains of blog posts, mostly. I read an interesting one from Fred Wilson (a VC who blogs) about social networking, and so I decided to email him. His response: "I don’t know of anyone doing exactly this, but I agree with you that it is where social networking is headed". So there you go, I'm on the right track to create the next generation Facebook. Now, all I need is money and time :)

I've also been working on my business plan at PlanHQ. Not for the social networking idea, but for another idea. PlanHQ is pretty cool; it's basically an online business plan application, but one nice side effect is that my plan is effectively "backed-up" off my local PC whenever I work on it. I was trying to complete my plan ASAP, but have realised that the silly season is upon us, so I think it's probably a better idea to approach VC's in the New Year.

Finally, I have a neat little idea for a social-type app that I'm going to do either one weekend or when I have my 2 weeks off over Xmas. I think I'll try out a virtual hosting service like Amazon's EC2 (no link provided ... it's mangled).
