Introducing... The Next Big Web Thing

Almost done now on my latest personal project, The Next Big Web Thing. Ok, firstly that's not what I think the site is, rather, it's what the site's about. It's also a bit of a new turn for me, as I've followed the collaborative model of many more famous sites. Several colleagues and friends are lined up to take a stake in the entries and add their own posts - in return for a share of any potential earnings from the site.

The idea is simple, we look for stuff that we think is original and new to the web and mention it. At the end of each month the ten best go into a monthly poll to see who wins the distinction of The Next Big Web Thing for that month. Its a very simple layout and site - hopefully the content will do the talking. I have some big plans for marketing it and building traffic to the site - this time next year I'm hoping it can be making all the contributors a nice little side income. We'll see though, I need to get a lot of interest in it first. It should be fun. :)

I'll put him in touch with this place.
