Flagr is basically del.icio.us, but on your phone for the real world. Lickety Ship sounds great but try scaling that idea. Skobee and Standpoint, as well as others, also look like they could be quite viral. And Europeans are going to eat up Bill Monk, as it fits very well with how they pay/track bills between friends.

Here’s a nother one for ya, check out http://www.billhighway.com - seems they’ve been doing the “shared bills” thing for sometime now. I’ve been using them for about six months for managing bills between my roommates. I originally got turned on to them at school, guess they also offer a system for helping greek fraternities/sororities. Its cool because we can use it to both track and pay bills, split payments (evenly or custom) between us, schedule reoccuring fund transfers and even have multiple “source” bank accounts. You should check it out, I recently heard from an insider they’ve got over 100,000 customers!?

I really liked the idea of PlaceSite. I often people watch and wonder who else in the room is doing the same thing, and who is thinking what. In public I may be shy, but put me on an IM client and I become captian courageous.

I use and LOVE the BillMonk service. My friends and I use it all the time, and it makes things very convenient for split purchases on joint venture projects (who paid for a domain name, who paid for scripts, who paid for hosting, who paid for advertising, what’s owed where?). I have (or had, can’t remember) a box.net account, but it was just storage at the time so it wasn’t all interesting. Add RSS feeds to the account, and now its interesting again.

LicketyShip? Dunno. Can’t think of anything I ever needed to have THAT day without going to the store to get it. NeuroSky? I’ll wait for the demo. Flagr, Standpoint, and Skobee all don’t have much appeal to me. But 411metro sounds like a service I could use.

I disagree as well. I was there and many of the companies have quite a bit of potential. Do you use del.icio.us? 300,00 people do. And the number is growing. Flagr is basically del.icio.us, but on your phone for the real world. Lickety Ship sounds great but try scaling that idea. Skobee and Standpoint, as well as others, also look like they could be quite viral. And Europeans are going to eat up Bill Monk, as it fits very well with how they pay/track bills between friends. Are any of these the next Yahoo? Probably not. But they could be bought by Yahoo. And if one of them were mine, I wouldn’t mind that.

i don’t agree. i think standpoint is interesting too. With the soon to release israeli question and answer engine we are seeing the emergence of collecting wisdom in new ways. james

The only startups in that list that seem interesting are Licketyship and NeuroSky. The rest looks like RoR cookie cutters.
