Well, I'm working on a new project. Actually, I've been doing preliminaries for awhile.

I want to create a bear/chub/chaser etc. Social Networking site. Not a hook up site, but a full social networking platform. (Think Myspace for bears). I'm envisioning a community site with lots of features, including drag and drop profile widgets(powered by scriptalicious), and maybe a showcase for community artists, musicians, writers, etc. I'd like to have an article writing feature (like gather.com) for user submitted articles. Any other ideas are welcome and appreciated.

I started working on it. The working name of the software is Qinexi.us. That'll be open source software.

I'm playing around with different names for the site. The following is a logo design I'm working on. It's not set in stone, of course, and the site name is subject to change. I just went through a domain name search to see what was open. Not much left, lol. But that's okay.





Oh, and this will be an OpenSocial Container.

Everyone else has jumped on the Web 2.0 bandwagon. Why not the bear community? Besides, I envision something a little beyond Web 2.0 eventually, with some Semantic Web features making everyone's life a little easier and a little more pleasant.
