Problem Statement
There are myriad photo-hosting services on the web, but some users would, rather than post an entire photo album, post a single, meaningful picture as a means of sparking a conversation.
(Note to group: This is temporary and needs to be revised. I will try to add more info and write it more clearly and then we should all make edits to it until it's good).
Target Users
- Photo-posting users: photographers and casual photo-takers with average computer experience and a desire to share individual photographs as a catalyst for dialog.
- Viewers: users with average computer experience who simply want to view meaningful photos and read the resulting conversation.
- Commenters: users with average computer experience who would like to be able to make comments on photos in addition to simply viewing the photos.

Proposed Solution
We are developing an online environment that will inspire and guide kids to build and be fluent in technology. The Build-It-Yourself platform will enable kids to:
- Build a portfolio of projects that can be used in school applications;
- Form friendships and share ideas with builders from around the world;
- Collaborate with specialists many of whom are model college students who are on promising tracks:
- Win awards and earn money; (earn points as in Karate belts or Boy Scout badges, become a Build-It-Yourself instructor, recruit members, sell ads)
- Exercise language, logic, file management, graphic design, entrepreneurial and common computer application skills.
