3. It's a nice gimmick, but again, what will set you apart from existing dating sites (don't get me wrong, I think existing sites SUCK and there's a lot of room for new players, but still.. Windows-based?)

4. This would have worked great 4 years ago. Nowadays many people have pics stored in all kinds of image hosts, blogs, etc.

5. Privacy advocates will say customers are exposed to more risks as opposed to a true web-based application (IP shit). Thing is, it will have many teenagers using it, so parents will probably agree with them.

A few of these things we have alrea actored in and a few othe tigs yutin now wil...his is the eason for this thread
