Meople - Re-Re-Launched (again)

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

We re-re-launched Meople (again). It’s been a long time coming. This time around, we simplified the model quite a bit, we survived the great Ruby rewrite, and learned a bajillion more things about launching a product/service.

Is it perfect? No, not yet. Does it have fatal errors bugs issues? Yes, but it’s a work in progress.

Give it a shot, let the Meople team know what you think, send us your feedback/issues/requests.

TrainCheck, Snowboarding and Rambling - an update

Thursday, May 11th, 2006

My pal Bart’s TrainCheck just got put on Google Co-Op. Congrats Bart!

It took me a while to figure out what this Google Co-Op really was. It appears like the google services that appear on searches, now can be somewhat company/user provided based on matching search terms. It almost, to me, started to sound like tagging (do I hear “labeling”) somewhere in that massive schpeel of documentation they got going. I have yet to see the google version of tagging, but it’s kind of like that little chinese guy in a gang fight. He just sits there, not doing anything, but man oh man, when he does, you know it’s gunna be something cool.

Things are well — I just got back from snowboarding for the first time:

and we’re re-re-launching Meople: http://www.meople.net/ — this time it survived the “great ruby rewrite” [1]

In other news, Derek Haynes and I have found a way to make a lot of money, starting a company to promote a new sport: hand-tennis-ball. It’s like Tennis, but with no racquet, and of course team-dynamics and “flair” are integral parts of the game. It’s revolutionary, no doubt.
