I need your help!

I am starting up a company due 2 launch very shortly. Its a internet based social-networking/dating/commu-
-
nity site. How it works is you register your number plate on your car(you don't need to own a car we will give u a fake plate) and then you get a sticker or plate surround to put on your car. so if someone sees you driving around town they can go in their iPhone or the internet search your plate and see your profile. it wont just be focused on the plates, you can free call other members via iPhone, chat live, sell your car, send bulk messages out have car advice and a mechanic giving free advice etc.

I need your input on this.
Would you use this!
Would you put anything on your car!
Should it be free!
Should there be membership types and costs!
What you want on the website!
What you wouldn't want on the website!
etc.

Let me know id love your input and maybe even give you all free memberships

if its free im in!

sorry sounds all to confusing for me

im happily partnered anyways so wouldnt use it

Its not just a dating site. You can find people to carpool with. meet friends, sell your car, ask for help or advice on your car etc

Ill put this in my fuel tank and see if its any better than the s**t im using now

what would make you want to use it! free give aways like iPhones and fuel vouchers etc!

Brilliant idea! It will make it really easy for me to stalk / harass all the pretty girls I see driving around town!

I wouldn't, but then again I'm an old fart.lol

So if you don't own a car you get a fake plate! What do you do with that! Attach it round your waist with a bungy cord! And who pays for the iphone calls! Do you have backing from a mobile provider! Sounds like you're trying hard to come up with something different but i think this one might be destined for disaster, Then again 10yrs ago plenty of people probably said NZ was to small to support it's own auction site

I've already heard of this same idea used as a dating service overseas. But as you've described it above, you want the service to be, as one poster above has already said, "all things to all people", and therefore likely to be too general to be of use to anybody.

I'd focus on just one idea. E.g. car pooling. If people see the sticker on someone's bumper - you want them to instantly recognise what the service is that those stickers represent. So person 'a' standing at a bus stop somewhere sees that sticker on cars going past and asks the person standing next to him what those funny looking stickers that he keeps seeing on other people's bumpers are all about. person 'b' standing next to him will be able to explain to person 'a' in 3 seconds, "oh, it's to do with a car pooling register online". Person 'a' becomes curious about this as he has been thinking about car pooling for some time now but hasn't been too serious about it before, so goes online to check it out.

However if Person 'b' had said, "oh, it's a DATING SITE that you can do car pooling on, make friends, and ask for help, etc." then person 'a' is much less likely to jump online and check it out because while he may be into car pooling, he's married/engaged/recently divorced/in a relationship and dating is the least of his interests, so of course he is a lot less likely to bother with it.

Keep your idea simple, and make it very very focussed like the car pooling idea (for example). And if you want to provide a genuine website-based service to the community that people will be genuinely interested in, keep dating the hell away from it.

BUT if you want to specifically create a dating service, then that's great. But make sure it's exclusively for dating. I guess what I'm saying is, whatever it is you are wanting to do, make it super-focussed. And keep it devoid of gimmicky crap. The last thing you want to create is a big convoluted pile of fail. Well that's my opinion of it anyhow.

I don't see it working to be honest.

Make it very easy to stalk people i reckon. In terms of social networking i think this is going to far.
