2. sounds interesting. Something similar has been fermenting in my notes for a while, so I'd be interested in your thoughts on why it didn't work for you.
I have got some 300 users signed up for this web app. But the engagement was very low. When I talked to people, they said that they can get the information of their interested topics from their favorite websites - If they like cricket they would see in cricinfo.com and so on.. And most of the news they want, they can get it from twitter,fb and other sites they regularly check. So followyours.com did not provide 'real' value for them, from their perspective..
It still sounds like a promising idea to me. Perhaps niching it down e.g. for people to follow only their favourite authors will be a useful exercise. That way you can also build in features specific to that niche. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
