[quote]I also need a partner who is well versed in more that just programming, but is willing to wear multiple hats (i.e. marketing, customer support, developing, design, etc.).[/quote]

So what exactly are you contributing? The idea? An idea and $5 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. (meaning the idea is worth basically nothing)

Seriously what do you bring to the table here? Why would someone want to be the programmer, marketer, CS rep, designer, etc -- in other words do all the work -- for less than all the profit?

This comment has really resonated with me as I read it once again. I see this same tired comment on so many threads. Nowhere did I say that I want someone to do all the work for me. I guess there must be a lot of people out there that just want people to shoulder most of the load, but that's not what I'm looking for. I think even the most junior entrepreneur could realize that an idea is not as valuable as the strength of a team or ability to implement an idea. Also I'm not really sure where profit comes into play. There was no mention or discussion of profit or pay nor would I bring that up on a purely exploratory post like this one.
I am a programmer already, if you look at the link I have created all of this myself. I am merely explaining the type of partner that I expect to team up with. I'm not a nobody idea man.
