Diary.com — I wonder how many people are going to try to hack it!!!

Posted by Me on August 29th, 2008

Diary.com — hack me, please


First of all, who would keep their private diary on some startup’s website? Holy cow, that’s just begging to get hacked.


Second, in terms of the feature to make the diary public–isn’t that just a blog?


I just don’t get it.

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!

Blabnote: Thank goodness it’s the only voice social network.

You gotta give these guys and gals credit for being funny! That’s hilarious–a voice social network. Perhaps the only slower and worse thing than working on a mobile phone browser is trying to navigate voice recognition. This is gonna be great. I can’t wait until they get out of “private beta!”

Gigaom forgot one crucial step

Posted by Me on May 9th, 2008

Here, Gigaom discusses the lifecycle of a startup. But they forgot one crucial step:

Being featured on SuckyStartups!!!

One day an entrepreneur is chatting with his friends, gets an idea, writes about the idea on his or her blog, and then starts coding. A few weeks or possibly days, a beta — increasingly a euphemism for a not-fully-thought-out-product — emerges.

THE LAUNCH
Then the buzz builds and the company opens up the beta far and wide. Maybe TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb, WebWorkerDaily or WebWare write about the product.

The missing sentence:
“Then SuckyStartups blogs about it, telling it like it is. No differentiation. Me too. No business model. No chance.”

THEN…

LAUNCH A SOCIAL NETWORK WIDGET
If the user adoption press releases, the widget and subsequent coverage can’t get your site growing again, it’s time for the big guns…the open API.

In between

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.
