YC is losing it's cool factor IMO. The startups are a letdown, especially this year. The ideas and business models are weaksauce. They're paraded out like rock bands but haven't earned that distinction with many of us.
But we're building a Facebook for bartenders and hairdressers as soon as Dispora releases something that works and we can theme it with ads. It's not the Moon landing, but how is that not newsworthy?
Add taxi drivers to the mix. I've got the theory hairdressers and taxi drivers have a better sense of the moods and attitudes of society than anyone, even politicians.
In aggregate, their opinions and predictions might be a peek around the corner of time.
I like your idea too (sorta) although I think you'll pivot into a matchmaking service in time.
