Hooze Beta
24-Jul-2006:
At OSCamp this morning, I spent some time with Ethan McCutchen and Lewis Hoffman learning more about the Hooze.com and wagging. Hooze is focused on consumers and in particular, helping them create a shared and voice which may point companies in a directions that are more aligned with their consumers. Imagine having access to a huge collaboratively built database of consumer experience right at the point of purchase — that would be valuable.
The underlying technology is a wiki of sorts, but because it leverages tagging and “cards”, they call it “wagging” (wiki+tagging). Cute. Not to mention that it has the “tail wagging the dog” feeling which sends a good grass roots message. In the wagging environment, each tag you create has a snippet of information attached to it, like a card or a page. But the power is created when you combine tags. So if there was a tag for “Ray King” and a tag for “Razr”, then I would naturally put my experience with Razr’s on that page. Once there is a critical mass of this information, then looking up any topic brings up a rich subset of other related topics. I look forward to watching this get off the ground. There’s more information on wagging at their system site, WagN. article link

More and more creative ideas are being thought of every day. WikiBios allow people to create a stub of a biography and then have their friends, family and co-workers edit it to perfection … or honesty! I’m not sure what Wiki Engine it uses, but what is neat is that they’ve gone beyond basic wiki added functionality that really makes this specific application sing. For example, on a given page, you’ll see links for “People I know”, “Bio’s I’ve edited” and “My Editors”. That’s rich because allows the user to quickly browse around various circles of people. I’m impressed and think this will do well. read more
