If you had ONE startup to tell @aplusk 's 3 million followers about, what would it be? My answer here:
Sanjeev Agrawal, Gordon Saunders, Daniel Chow and 33 other people liked this
Other than FriendFeed? Aloqa. I think that is going to be big.Aloqa is a mobile platform and is how lots of businesses will get on iPhone and Android.

I would tell @aplusk about @Wantsa. I haven't told you about it yet, but i know it's going to be big. Like, big big.

Obviously, GOGII (my employer). Our app textPlus is on fire and the stuff we're building on top of boring SMS is freaking amazing. Our founders did JAMDAT (sold to EA), so we're loaded with mobile wizards. Plus, I'm hiring a Teen Ambassador to mentor to properly serve our entire community. /rant done.

I would never ever want to talk to any of his followers, dear lord, omg, where's the Tylenol.

@Robert - wantsa (www.wantsa.com) is a recommendation engine... operates much like a search engine does, only it lives within social networks like Facebook, Ning and others. People recommend businesses, services and people, and businesses have the opportunity to post offers (deals, discounts etc) that come up when a user searches for a product. Not only does the business get to...

Aloqa has a fatal error in their sigup for other phones :-(

I would have to say @Pelotonics since it's what I've been working on everyday all day for the past year. We have a online project management solution (very crowded space, I know), though we have an eye towards integrating the tools you use for your personal productivity into the group setting. Like Evernote, Google Docs (we're going to be the first company to be able to truly push GDocs into the corporation), etc...

i will probably get a ton of backlash against this one....but im mega bullish on @foursquare
- Tristan Walker
Yea, I'm loving @Foursquare
- Daniel Marashlian
Colleen, how are services/companies joining the Wantsa network? Are they user entered or do they get entered from Wantsa?
- Daniel Marashlian
Tristan: Foursquare has a lot of potential but I don't know that it delivers.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Actually, I will have to wait for a Windows Mobile version, if they are planning one.
- Amit Morson
Robert, agreed...still early. But if done right, it can change the way we think about LBS. Execution heavy, but im a believer. Smart guys steering the ship
- Tristan Walker
Jay: that is interesting, I will be in Texas in a week and we should go and see them.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
what do u think is missing from it?
- Tristan Walker
Next time you're in the Marina del Rey area, come see the GOGII/textPlus team, I should be out there for my regular week at a time sessions on off chemo weeks soon.
- drew olanoff
Tristan: more locations.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
@Daniel It can happen either way. There;s a suite of managed services and businesses can do it themselves as well. Visibility is based on the amount of money they are willing to pay wantsa for the lead/survey etc (the biz tells wantsa what it is worth to them to get that lead) and a portion of that amount is donated to the charity of the user's choice, without a penny coming from the user's own pocket.
- Colleen
@Daniel @Robert, Wantsa is currently an App in Facebook (but the UI needs updating), has launched on the 4real.com social network and is currently in talks with Ning's biz dev director to place us as a Family app with core integration coming down the pipe in the next 6 months (estimated)
- Colleen
But Robert, you can input locations into the system as well. A pain, certainly but theyll figure it out soon enough.
- Tristan Walker
I tweeted this - my favorite would be Better World Books (@bwbooks) an online bookstore (http://betterworldbooks.com) which raises money for literacy worldwide via used book sales, esp of books donated to local libraries - highly successful business model, does good many times over, mission driven (oh and funded by Good Capital here in SF)

5G Cell Phones which everyone will have soon http://www.5gcellphone.info
- Jeff Grant
FourSquare is aiming to be the unofficial AddressBook in the cloud. Notice that when you friend someone they get all of your contact info and vice versa? Perty smart.
- drew olanoff
drew i agree....the service at scale will be REALLY powerful for small businesses as well. This is the kind of LBS theyve been looking for
- Tristan Walker
Jeff: Wow, that is the way forward! Are those currently available?
- Daniel Marashlian
@foursquare - it just feels right and it feels like it has plenty of potential to grow organically and become a great resource for so many different avenues
- Kathleen Forden
Aloqa needs some pricing info. If I have to make a call on that, I usually figure it's too expensive.
- Kathy Fitch
The register for later announcements about other phones froze for me, as well. (Of course, their system is probably getting bombarded, right about now, so . . .)
- Kathy Fitch
The others sound great, but @aplusk 's followers need to be aware of TribeHQ http://www.tribehq.com - a micro-blogging platform (not twitter) that has evolved the micro-blogging concept. In essence, different professional groups (tribes) - eg nurses, engineers, florists, teachers, embalmers connect with others in their occupation, with the tribal buzz, and enter into direct...

Robert, I'm surprised you didn't mention any of the recent partnership/acquisitions by Rackspace. What do you like there (that you can talk about).
- Michael Fidler
I would let him know about @GoldMail. GoldMail is software that allows business people to quickly and easily create personal and powerful voiceover visual messages by making slides from virtually any content (including PowerPoint slides, PDFs, Text documents, and photos) and recording their voice over them. They then send a link to their message using any email service or post it online.
- Kathryn Leuenberger
@aplusk is all about the democratization of media, so http://TweetReel.com - (Sharing video on Twitter with the 3GS) Plus, it's my start-up ;)!

Michael: I am a fan of JungleDisk. Great backup to the cloud.

Kathryn: funny I have a video of Goldmail's founder I am working on.

Scoble, I signed up for a Rackspace Cloud Site Friday, mainly because of you, and their service is anything by fanatical. It's terrible. And I'm not complaining just to complain. I owned a Furniture store for years, so I have a lot of respect for people who own and run businesses

Robert, WideTag Inc http://www.widetag.com , we're building the next Internet, the Internet of Things.

I forgot to leave my suggestion before. I see a lot of new startups here, but if I was going to suggest one, it would be posterous.

I'm not sold on these location based services. Maybe in SF it's ok. I suppose this is a bit like Augmented Reality.
- thinkQuick
It's November 2009, there's no spam on friendfeed and @aplusk is making a magazine on Http://GreenerMags.com and sharing it with is 10 million friends.
- GreenerMags
from iPhone
Well, if @aplusk is all about the democratization of media, then maybe an open source app for making media - www.celtx.com ?
- Mark Kennedy
How about http://www.kickstarter.com?
- Arvind
rhetorically: do @aplusk's followers really care about tech or cutting-edge sites, or are they more or less celebrity gawkers? btw, aloqa looks very interesting. it's time to start making the Web better on mobile devices
- .LAG liked that
Annoys me on my iphone when I go to sites and it takes me to a gimped baby mobile version of their site
- Mark
I'm excited about Aloqa

Tell them about Etherpad.
- Vezquex: God of FF
Why not tell them about something that is both a startup as well as something good for this planet? My vote is for @Jolkona (http://www.jolkona.org) (Note: I have no affiliation with them)
- Trevin
Thanks to everyone who posted here. I'm having great fun exploring all of these sites and services.

Does Dvorak even use FriendFeed? Thought he was a Twitter guy these days?

Robert, you know that @realDVORAK is not actually John C. Dvorak right? John is @therealDVORAK

Good spot Steven.

Oopppsss, didn't know that. Thanks!
- Robert Scoble

Robert: Are there any fake Scobles?
- Jim Connolly
Yeah, I just barely caught it.. it was convincing though, especially with the poser using the term "crock" which is a typical Dvorak phrase.
- Steven (optionshiftk)
Robert - what about Blackberry users - we can't switch to Friendfeed 100%....Any suggestions? And can't give up bberry. OOPS - meant to post this to previous thread...But seroiusly, help for bberry friendfeed users...?
- Liza
Jim: there are a few inactive ones.
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Robert: I thought there had to be a few out there somewhere.
- Jim Connolly
@scobleizer - Blown away by such substantive engagement! Challenge your base with an opportunity to show off in front of an audience that they can relate to! Here's the rub - googling for a list of startups is both naive and futile, and would hardly expose sentiment. This seemingly simple question energized the base and satisfied the questioner's true intent - to query a group of early...
