Massive market - over 100,000,000 people! Need expertise + capital

I have some great ideas to penetrate the social networking market dominated by MySpace and Facebook.

Whilst the idea itself is quite simplistic it will take quite alot of expertise, knowledge and marketing skill to make the conecpt a reality.

I am looking for 5-10 people initially to help fund and develope this technology and preferrably with IT/web experience/knowledge and from Australia.

I have used many social networks myself, in fact I am an owner of one, and I believe that this idea will have massive repercussions however I lack the technical expertise to build it myself.

Thanks,
Hamish

Your title caught my attention. Not because it is good, but because no market has 100,000,000 people. If you think yours does, you don't know your target market.

The old Kawasaki assertion... "All we have to do is get 1% of the people in China to buy our product."
