Link: A new social network, for entrepreneurs, called YouNoodle. Yes, YouNoodle. Built by a bunch of dweebish overachievers:
[from YouNoodle.com ]Everyone in our team of five people is passionate about helping startups. We have each started companies before, came from five different countries to work together, and three of us were admitted into the U.S. as individuals of extraordinary ability (O-1 visa). We are growing the team so if you are the best in the world at what you do, and are excited by what we're building, get in touch.
