Re: Are We Wasting Our Time?
“We have spent around three months with the wordpress and bp software. “
I’ve spent three years working with WordPressMU (before it was in beta even) and the job you’re talking about is *huge*. Like others have said. 
Tip: start in phases. Pick something basic you can start with then build off that. Even the example given about with the tuts plus network, they started with one blog.
you also have to offer value, and in being different, phrases like “like youtube” don’t help.
