Zack’s take:
Now this is a GREAT idea. People love organizing information…at least I do. Mapping people into organizational charts is really cool and could prove to be useful. The problem is that it’s a new idea and navigating the signup process is not easy if you don’t really know exactly how it all works. I don’t know if I’m alone when I say I hate “allowing apps” in my facebook and linkedin account. I always feel I’m somehow going to get hacked. It would help if the site looked like they invested more in the design…just looks a little amateurish…and the ads at the top are confusing…I know…you gotta make money too. I still don’t see enough value to pay $20/month but I might someday so it’s nice that it’s free to use. This is one of those ideas that should get bought up by linkedin down the road…if so, would be a winner…if not, just a novelty.
