I've started this project because almost no web site (not even the photography-centric ones) offer close-to-native photo browsing. Most of them make you click the 'back' button or even open a new page for each image.
I didn't actually think about it like this. People wouldn't like an advert, they would "like" something they just purchased or intend to purchase (like a phone or a movie ticket).
Once they do that, their friends will see it and could go to the same site to do the same action (i.e.: buy the ticket themselves).
I don't think store owners will need to bid on ads, because they are not competing with anyone, and looking at it this way, I guess it's different than what you would call an "ad network".
Thanks for the address, I will take a look! I think the game-like mechanics should be used for this site as well, however, I have yet to determine how this will be done...
So a few weeks ago I registered a new domain name, startupsmap.com, where I want to, well, create a map of startups :)
For the initial version, I'm thinking about some simple and straighforward features, like allowing people to put their startup on the map and give some additional information about it (like if they're hiring, if they released something, a small description/keywords about what there'ye doing, etc...). Maybe even integrating with their blog or news room to highlight them on the map when something has changed...
Once this is done, people like me will be able to see what startups are in their area, what they're all about and even if they're hiring, to apply for a job! :)
Also, people with money to invest, will be able to check out the "new local ideas" and pay them a visit.
So, the whole reason for posting this here is to get your 2 cents on this idea... any constructive comment will be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm sure most of the people applying to YC did it for the contacts/network and not for the money or at least for some sort of valuable feedback from pg et all.
I was really surprised to see that the rejection e-mail we've got was an automatic "for all" message, when at least I would have expected some sort of feedback (even something like "your app/idea sucks, do something else").
The YC team must have made some sort of comments and side remarks for every application and if those are encoded in 0s and 1s then it would help a lot of the applicants to find what those remarks were. I'm even interested in the place we've got in the final rating, but I'm sure the guys on #31 would be very upset to find that out :)
So, my question: it is possible to get something like this? At least for future rounds...
I'm working on a website that will do just that... promote new products and give early feedback to founders. The page will be available at spreadmyproduct.com (nothing there yet!).
By the way, if anyone is interested in joining me, please drop me a line at c dot ciocov at iu-bremen dot de.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
