I applaud your success but I would still differentiate what you've built (or LouisvilleMojo if you're not directly involved) from Fatdoor and its strategy.

While not based in Silicon Valley, LouisvilleMojo.com has been a geo-targeted local online community in existence since 2003. With over 88,000 registered members, Mojo receives more page hits than any other online media outlet in the state, including MySpace and the city newspaper site. Metromojo has been in the business of powering local online communities for years, and we are passionate about the efficacy of geographically tied online networks. “no one has yet built exactly what fatdoor is trying to build: a broad social network for ‘adults’ tied to location”

It's interesting to see that Raj has found VC and I'm quite impressed that he has got CEO of PayPal and Intuit on the board - that's really impressive. My partner and I are going to have to speed things up on our end if we're going to live off the fat of this land some...hopefully there's enough room in this town for two....
