1. I would rather have one finished product - pick one. D5, D6, D7, or Trident. It's been years and not one of these have really been finished.

2. The concept (and that's all this really is), is flawed in several ways.

a) Most people aren't going to purchase a domain. They just won't.
b) Using a real name is going be a problem with a lot of people. They won't do it.
c) Many, many people have the same name - meaning the domain won't be available.
d) Even if this were to start to take off, see more every company on the planet is going to copy it and dilute the market. This is problem with social networking to a large extent. Making it open source will just give them a head start.


3. Most Dolphin sites are small to medium, that is true. But I'm not sure this is really a negative. Furthermore, part of the reason there aren't many more Dolphin sites - potentially larger ones - is that Dolphin is buggy as hell. It's like driving a car with a defective steering wheel. Waiting for a patch takes forever, and then we get something like these two new sites instead of what we were waiting for in the first place. It's like a flippin' shell game.
