In summation, my idea is a fashion oriented social network.  I'm proud of the initial idea, but over the course of the project, I've made many improvements, particularly through comments.  I've realized individuals may not be as comfortable as I am in sharing their information, even anonymously, and have decided to add the option of "hiding" their profile, allowing them access to unique and personal posts without having to share their beauty "problems" or beauty personality with the world.

Additionally, I've realized that with social networks there exists a risk of a loss of professionalism in allowing users to post.  To rectify this, I'm separating professional posts, links, and user posts in the site design and layout.

Logistically, the technologies learned in class have helped me considerably in the logistically in the setup of my company.  I've decided to set up the company with computers built from scratch, allowing each to be unique to its use and needs.  Additionally, I've learned easy techniques to set up design and layouts - such as hex values.

Overall, this project has taught me one very important thing.  That, despite my age and my status as a student, it is not unheard of to be able to start a company, especially on the web. My knowledge and age allows me to relate to my audience in ways a more experienced person would not. And the execution of this idea is not necessarily impossible.
