So what exactly is Renkoo?

10 comments »

Joyce Park’s Renkoo looks interesting.

The Renkoo blog give a number of interesting feature hints.

It looks to be an event/calendaring application, but it seems to include chat and other features as well.

It is the goal of Renkoo to help people plan and remember and share peak experiences.

and

The Renkoo’s application interface intentionally blurs the lines between “webby”, desktop, and instant messaging.

Anyone out there beta testing Renkoo and care to comment?

    I’ve played with it a few times. It’s coming along nicely. The goal is, basically, to make it easier to organize getting together with people–you know, the kind of stuff that can take 35 back and forth emails when you have more than 4 people involved…

    It’s a sweet implementation of mod_pubsub. In form and function it behaves like no other site that I can remember using. Pretty innovative…

    Shameless plug warning:
    We’re also building an application for the whole private events, eVite competitors, casual event planning over email space. :)

    Noam,

    Yeah, the secret landing page always gets me. I’m an only child and hate being left out of things. Add me immediately! (please). If Jeremy likes it, it must be cool.

    Joyce-
    I guess this means you are a real Web 2.0 company now. :)

    Curious but skeptical user wonders (without having spent more than 2 minutes on any — but as a typical user that’s way past my time-limit):

    How is Renkoo different than:

    Google’s Hello

    Filmloop.com?

    I can see there’s a bunch of interest and smart people here but for capturing those Kodak moments (again, as a “non-geek”) I usually turn to my trusty…ahem
