SkyDeck — Raises $3MM to **ENHANCE MY PHONE BILL**???!!!!

Posted by Me on September 30th, 2008

SkyDeck


In their own words, SkyDeck helps you keep track of your cell phone calls and text messages. Check who called you yesterday and how long it’s been since you spoke.


Ahem…maybe it’s just me, but I already use an amazing tool to see who I’ve texted and called. It’s called MY PHONE! :)


They go on to say why I’ll love the service:


1. GET AN INBOX FOR YOUR CALLS — because my recent calls ain’t enough


2. DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SOCIAL NETWORK — because I don’t know who I talk with…


3. GET A SMARTER ADDRESS BOOK — because I want to look at a website instead of use my address book


4. SEARCH YOUR CALLS — I always wanted to search my calls…finally, I can!


5. NEVER GO OVER AGAIN — OK, this might be useful for some


6. TRACK YOUR EXPENSES — QUICKEN? MINT? SKYDECK?!?


7. SECURE AND PRIVATE


8. FREE — Sounds like a great money-maker!

Did they really say “social opinion mood community?”


I wish I could see their traffic logs!

Yocial–They Mixed Business and Pleasure

Posted by Me on April 1st, 2008

Yocial

They should have listened to the old adage… 

Yocial’s whole shtick is having a single site to have both work and personal friends.

Now your colleagues at work can see how you spend your drunken after-work hours. And your friends can see how you’re a corporate drone from 9:15 to 4:45. Great. What innovation!

Update: so, apparently, you can keep your two sets of friends separate. I’ll stick with facebook and linkedin personally.

Come join the iPartee (beta)!

Posted by Me on November 13th, 2007

iPartee - a humor site
I had kind of a crappy day, but iPartee completely turned it around.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!

What is IPartee?
In their own words, “IPartee is a place to find events and venues you and your friends want to attend. We let you plan, publish, promote and monetize your events for free.”


That got me chuckling, but I lost it at:

“What’s are the benefits of signing up?
What makes IPartee really useful is the ability to use it with your friends [emphasis mine]. By joining IPartee, you’ll be able to use features that help you plan events with friends, as well as post events, venues, polls, reviews and photos.”

I seriously want to invite all my friends, so I can use features! The part I’m most excited about is posting venues! It’s so funny…because I actually have a list of venues by my computer that I’ve been compiling over the past months, and just waiting for the right outlet! Now that I have iPartee, and I’m going to feel much more fulfilled!

iPartee made me so happy that I went to their careers section–I’d really enjoy a career at a place that makes me laugh every day. Alas, I got a “not found” error.

OK, OK–I’m being too harsh…I’m just jokin’ around…

Zipidee–My oh my what a wonderful fib

Posted by Me on October 6th, 2007

zipidee do da

Zipidee bills themselves as “the internet’s largest (emphasis mine) marketplace for buying and selling digital goods online.”

The only problem is that it’s “beta” and not yet accessible to the public! I’m sure it’s bigger than say, iTunes’ 3 billions songs sold. Or ebay’s sales of digital items.

My question is: do consumers need a separate site to sell digital goods? Granted, this company claims to add DRM to items it sells, which is wildly popular with consumers. But besides creating additional restrictions for buyers, what’s the value prop?

I’m confused.
