hmmm, I'll be direct here...
It seems like you are trying to make use of your skillsets from web 2.0 and trying to connect this into HIVE onboarding... You will put too many efforts through this new idea and what the project gain will be a lot less than what you will have spent in efforts, funds, and times. In the end this will put a lot of strain on both of you, lot lot lot of burden more than what you have endured from this Liotes project.
I like the idea of LIKETU, Actifit, and Leo Thread which they try to adopt not a heavy blogger type, however most of them got labeled as spammers and driven out by people. That's the missing link that I could not even define how it should be.
I know this sounds harsh but it's a honest opinion not tailored words to make everyone happy.
