Not to downplay the OP's product (the launch page is very well done, btw), but this reminded me of the well-publicized winning TV-themed hackathon entry earlier this year by a teenager:

Again, it's not a downplay of the OP's achievement, but a remark on how such a seemingly simple service is in high demand, such that a total underdog could win a hackathon with it. With some more work and thought to its features, this could be a real product for highly-social-networked people, and obviously not the kind of thing that the social networks will themselves create.
