cofoundr.com [web 2.0 review]

We just visited cofoundr.com and found it to be a Web 2.0 site connecting Entrepreneurs, Investors, Designers, Developers and Business Development Experts. I signed up and was able to create a profile and be online fairly quickly. There is a section for posting ideas that you would like feedback on and site members can comment and critique. I can see the value in getting objective opinions given my experience launching several startups in the past….

I liked this site though it appears to be new and the number of registered site visitors low. There is definitly room out there for LinkedIn competitors but more features need to be built into the system or repeat visitor traffic will be low (IMHO).

lingr.com [web 2.0 review]

 Lingr.com is a public (no account needed) chat website where users can chat about whatever and to whomever they want. The UI is of a web 2.0 flavor and performs very well in the chatroom I visited.

The site seems to be visited by many different countries as was evident in chatrooms where many different languages were present.

My overall impression was that this was definitely web 2.0 but nothing that was revolutionary. I feel there are several similar sites out there including campfire.com and zoho.com that offer the same if not better features.

Lingr has a few desktop tools (Lingr Radar and Lingr Notifier) available so you can stay in tune with what is going on in select chat rooms. These are nice to have but it was hard to determine how much they were used.

meinone.com [web 2.0 review]

There are a lot of mashups out there and we came across this one, it caught our eye not for what is currently is, but it could grow into. Many of us maintain several emails, websites, blogs, photo sharing site, etc… and if one company can deliver an intuitive, easy to use sight then it would be hit. Meinone.com offers us a place to store our personal links in 1 place. I didn’t see where you could store email addresses but it was clear that blogs, RSS feeds, articles that the user liked and other personal information could be stored in 1 place.

Below is a typical mashup page that in my humble opinion could use some tools to personalize the view (colors, backgrounds, etc…) Also the ability to integrate ‘at the glass’ music, photos and videos would be a cool add.

Cool site with a lot of potential, keep up the good work mubs!

Wridea.com [Beyond web 2.0 review]

The team at Jeela.com liked the concept of Wridea but had some reservations as to how (or if) people will actually use it. The UI is slick and very ‘Web 2.0′ complete with rounder corners and drag and drop.

I create a few ideas and added some notes but then it was unclear what I was suppose to do with them. I feel this may be similar in nature to 37 Signals ‘Ta Da List‘ application but lacking the clarity.

Don’t take this as all bad, this site has a lot of potential and with the right target could take off, the technology is impressive and the ‘Collaborative Brainstorming Sessions’ really intrigue me.
