Irizarry http://www.socialvitamin.com/?p=101 In an effort to do something productive during this weekend I decided to put myself to use and join the Startup Weekend trend. I came up with the following idea Twiidate.com a personals service website completely driven by Twitter users. Since I’m alone doing this I might not finish it by tomorrow but I sure will try. I just finished the logo, bought the domain, setup the server with Media Temple and all the configurations, setup the twitter OAuth and a few more things. I currently have a business model on mind but nothing solid. I’ll keep you updated.

You can follow the updates thru Twiidate twitter account.
