Had website built but lost passion for it.

[adamcjohnson]

Last year, I got super excited over an idea I had come up with.
I thought through the functionality, put together some rough screen mock ups, and of course spent time thinking of the name (the most important part!). I then took everything I had to put together, and started searching for an affordable developer to build my site out.

I hired someone on oDesk, and within a couple weeks, my site was complete. Awesome, right? ...Well, not really, for whatever reason, after the development work for my MVP was finished, I lost all ambition for moving the site forward. The more I waited the more I started to actually think the entire idea was stupid from the get-go. "Why did I even waste money on this site?" I kept asking my self.

This was back in September of last year, and as of today, my site still sits, rotting away. I sometimes consider just trying to see if it can gain some traction, but then get brought back into my feelings that I just need to chalk that one up as a loss.

Since, I don't want anyone to think this pity party is a backwards attempts to drum up visitors, I won't be posting the URL, unless you truly want to check it out, then PM me. Everything I've said is true, and there are only 2 members of the site, myself, and friend that I showed when it was first complete. You need an invitation code to even be able to join it.

But, ultimately, I guess I would like your feedback on the concept, which was an online address book of sorts.

Basically, you create an account, and then add all of your information. So, facebook link, twitter handle, instagram, website, phone number, etc etc, anything that pertains to you specifically. You can then decide which of that information is public (free for anyone to see), or private (only people you grant access to can view it).

The idea came to me, because of all the social networks, people always getting new phone numbers, moving, etc, my contact information always seemed out of date for people. If there was just an easy place where I could check that persons stuff (which they are responsible for maintaining) then I'd always be able to get ahold of them on whatever platform I needed.

So let me know what you think. Tell me how stupid you think it is, and confirm my doubts. Or, tell me you think it could actually be useful, and how I might spread the word about it.

Thanks for listening.
