Eureka!
I need to find a co-founder/site developer who I can work side-by-side with. They must be talented, willing to spend the majority of their time on this project, and have an entrepreneurial spirit.
-How do I find the level of expertise/experience I need in a co-founder, and what would be the best way to find them? I was thinking of talking to professors at graduate schools in my area, telling them what I want to do, and ask them to refer interested students. But I'm afraid releasing the idea in that manner would be detrimental. Any other suggestions?

??????????????????????????????????????????????
What idea???? I haven't said anything about what I want to do. Are you guys referring to where I mentioned that it would be a cross between a social networking site and an online forum, that incorporates myspace/facebook, ICQ/AIM, Craigslist, etc. This is nothing.

Hey,
Me and my brother could help you out. He does PHP stuffs and all that and I'm more of the creative part - webdesign.'
If you'd like to discuss this further just PM me or something. Me and my brother is 16, dunno if that really matters, but...
Could discuss over phone if you'd like to.
Well great. Enough talkin' here.
Greets..

I think, you need to do some market research. And read about people who have already made it big in the tech world.
Also a decent website, that has the possibility of making it big, will cost thousands to get the actual website made, thousands for a team to maintain it, thousands to put some hefty marketing behind it, and some money to get a legal expert to check things through (the internet is a legal minefield).
Its upto you how you go about youre venture.

Does anybody understand what "co-founders" are??? If I can find a team of developers, professionals in the marketing community, or any person that will help in the preparation of a presentation to potential investors. They would not be compensated, they would become business partners.
I'm guessing this isn't the right forum to ask my question. It seems that most of you either don't get it, or you find the idea of searching for a co-founder to help develop a website ludicrous. If you think I'm a little ahead of the start-up stage please say so, and make a suggestion. These negative comments aren't helping me at all.
