@Ravi Sagar: Yea Id agree. But being a copy isn’t that bad as yammer.com which is a twitter clone won techcrunch50 coz they identified the need for such an app for business/corporates.

cool Rajiv.. am a regular visitor of IW2 along with urs, apart.. like to convey one more mssg to Maninder Gulati …do you have something to do with one or more startups in post.

…obvious wen there is more than one product to be reviewed in a single post…one has to be superficial..rather than go in depth, though I dont mid being a bit more extensive reviews

True.. Weve just got back to saturday startups so we’re catching up on the long indepth review culture ourselves. You will surely see improvement from next saturday onwards.. And didn’t I mention lazy saturday in an earlier post on the same day?

An unrelated question… What platform is WATBlog running on? I run a team blog and would like to allow users to request to be authors with a simple approval process by me as the administrator. WATBlog platform seems to be supporting this. Would be great to know!

Rajiv,

Thanks for covering Lifeblob. That must be one marathon review session .

In addition to what you have already talked about, one of the key differentiators of lifeblob is the way it establishes relationships between various timelines through the posts on them, thereby building a huge mesh of interconnected timelines and then allows the user to navigate the mesh in a very simple manner.

So when I add a post on my timeline about a trip I had with my wife and add my wife as a participant to it, the post also shows up on my wife’s timeline. This provides a very powerful way for people to connect with others and share pieces of their lives that they participated in together.

Pranav

This review reminds me of the Rolling Stone magazine review of the song Stairway to heaven…if you know what I mean. There is much more to these start-ups than is covered here. Comparing and contrasting feature tours and casual interpretation of input channels is not the way to review start ups in this space!

Kwippy has already been reviewed on IndianWeb2.com long before your blog and even Pluggd.in
