I want to start a social site. I allreadt have around 15 Drupal sites up and running, but I now have the desire for something new. I do not know how and where to start.
For the sites I have allready up and running, I do see that more then half of these people are member of more then one site. That means they have an interest that exceeds one topic. Then I also see that a lot of these people, are member on the same sites. Most of these people do not know each other but then do share interests.
I do want to link them on this new site, based on their shared interest. For this, I know a bit of their interest, since they are member on more then one Drupal site. I do however want to ask a few more questions, so I can sharply connect one to another. The site itself, when it finds a link based on interest, does only need to show the profiles of the other person on one of my websites.
My plan: I invite the members on my sites, to visit the new site. Here the can make a new profile (I want to include this step for privacy) and answer the questions. Based on what is found on my other websites and the answers the gave for my questions, I want them to get a list of people they might want to connect with.
Any ideas where to start?

Where to start
The module User Relationships might be a good starting point. This allows you to create relationships between users.
The module should provide the starting point for the type of functionality you need.
Have a look at Dorien Herriemans site http://Drupalfun.com for inspiration and the book is a good read although D6 specific.
