Your Visual DNA
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of Facebook and Myspace. they just seem to be for people so much younger than me. Sob. But really it’s also because I find it a bit predicatable after a while. So, imagine my surprise when I was told about Imagini.Net. This is a way of communicating using pictures, but in an engaging, creative and simple way. I find this site interesting, good looking and really fun. Plus, from a business perspective, I also think the concept translates well from being a personal tool to being a really useful marketing idea for our clients too.
The basic premise is that you go into the site to choose photos that best represent what you feel about something. Once done, you have effectively created a unique theme palette. It’s not so unique to be exactly like DNA, because the fun bit is that you can now find other like-minded individuals who have chosen the same photos as you. Quite cool really. There are a couple of other simple but cute features….you can upload a photo of yourself to be on the FaceWall and they have a giftfinder service which connects particular themes with gift ideas that they have stored in the database.
It’s currently in Beta and whilst i have palyed with it a few times, I am unsure how sophisticated it can get as yet, but worth a look.
Like Twitter Love Jaiku
Why would anyone want to be harrassed throughout the day by ‘friends’ telling you at every minute, what they are up to at that exact moment? Hmm, well apparently millions of us. Twitter has spread around the aether like wildfire. It’s not so much the concept, but the many other iterations that are really showing how versatile the Web has become for social interaction (just ask Bryan Miller!). In fact Mike Arrington at Techcrunch believes this cross platform functionality is the next big thing. But then, have you heard about Jaiku? Think of it like Twitter, but in many respects it’s better because it offers more features in one tidy place. Again, it’s totally immersive and addictive once you and your friends start using it. My handle is intune99. Hope to see some of you there soon.
