BS08.001 Mass Specific M_[s]

Category: Business Plan/ Funding

Brief:
M_[s] is:
An online design think-tank/ company using the business model of online dating and other socialized web-networks to form interdisciplinary project teams based on professional / amateur / speculative interest.
Whereby business is a common purpose of socializing and exacerbated by online / wireless technologies = doing business is sexy.
It follows that projects formed by groups of people based on interest will link disparate groups (masses) towards a common (specific) purpose.
Such projects are essentially self-generating and thereby clientless.
Work/Research Pellets:
Q. Research/ find grant opportunities for small business, minority business, architectural grants, public work grants, art grants etc. available.
Q. What software exists (free software preferred) in the online dating or facebook or similar frameworks?
Q. Research possibility to link or share files w/ online dating or facebook or similar sites.
Q. Gather Websites who’s format and style is acceptable as starting point for the stylizing of M_[s]
Q. Construct website w/ information above.

Project Team/ Agents:
