LinkMood is a site that helps people share their moods!


In their own words:

Linkmood is a social opinion mood community where people share, discover, and make friends along the way. become a member today and make your mood count!


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.

Teach The People — They Shoulda Made It The TechCrunch 39 Instead

Posted by Me on September 23rd, 2007

Teach The People - From TechCrunch 40

Teach The People was included in one of the TechCrunch 40. From their site: “Teach The PeopleSM is the world’s first social community and content networking service equipped with tools and features for the flexible sharing of knowledge!

Instead of just messaging with other users like on traditional social networking services, users on Teach The PeopleSM
are creating their own communities for fun, education, innovation; whatever! User can then fill those communities
with as much content & media as they desire:


Documents, Images, Videos, AUDIO, Blogs, Discussion Boards, Chat Sessions, Broadcasts…

…you name it.”

Now, read About.com’s About Us copy: Exclusive to About.com, over 600 expert “Guides” steer About.com’s content - sharing their passions, expertise and how-to information with visitors every day. The result is a vast information “bank” that couples the breadth and reach of large content providers such as AOL and MSN with the depth of consumer-focused sites like CNET and WebMD.

Sound kinda similar? But About.com was started in 1996, almost 12 freakin’ years ago.

All I’m sayin’ is Whatev.
