Despite the screenshot abovem the site is very pretty and uplifting, and very easy to read.

Using those Clouds as a Background image was a good idea.

@ Ouriel – Probably I need to try out mecanbe to understand the distinction.

Basu – Mecanbe has a built-in calendar application. We also plan on providing for exports and feeds to all the favorite calendar apps, both online and offline.

Mike – this is that start of a color war (or colour war if you are Australian).

SMan – You got it! That’s already on the cards!

Simran/Mike – Let me try and explain why Mecanbe represents a significant tool for personal and team-based goal achievement. You see, all of us have lots of goals – but how many of us can honestly say that we achieve them. I am talking about real quality of life stuff, like building a better relationship with our kids, even spiritual or religious goals, building communication skills, or even maintaining an exercise regimen for six months. Success in these areas are often more elusive.

So how does Mecanbe help me? Well, there are 2 fundamental ways that Mecanbe adds value to my offline, self-development effort:

A) Mecanbe not only enables me to get my goals down in (digital) writing (which in itself can be a meaningful exercise), but it also ensures that I will review my efforts and rate my performance periodically. I am also able to follow charts of my ongoing progress. This truly provides for an inspiring and rewarding self-development experience.

B) Mecanbe motivates me by creating a social impetus and supportive framework for goal achievement – a sense of community, and the ability to work on goals with a partner or small team. I may be able to achieve a goal of getting to the pizza shop on my own, but successfully quitting smoking, or working to constantly improve my relationships, for example, are more difficult when I am on my own. I am also much more likely to stick to a goal, and conversely, support a goal if my effort is made within the framework of a personalized relationship.

Thanks again and any comments, suggestions, or feedback are always welcome at info@mecanbe.com.

Many people will still get a lot of value working with a live coach, but this is a great supplement. And, for others, this may be all they really want or need!

Great review and article. Thanks!!

Anyway, I signed up for the BETA just to test the product. I find that I get everything done with gCal and Ta-Da Lists, I don’t need another website telling md what to do and when. I’ll eat that Pizza if I want to, stay out of it you blue website you!

Btw, promote the story on Digg here.

I am very curious to see how this app is recieved by professional coaches around the world, and how (I am sure they have) this crowd has been considered in thier business model.

Personally I believe that Mecanbe are on to something here. One aspect user value that is seldom brought up is what the application does for you when the computer is shut off (yes there is a button for that to). What makes this site interesting is that it does the majority of the work when you are not logged on (horrible thought .

Kind regards,
