Mit Who-R->ou kann man einfach seine eMail Adresse und ein dazugehöriges Bild angeben und somit quasi seine Identität preisgeben. Diese Idee ist recht interessant und pfiffig, wobei man sich natürlich fragen kann ob man einfach so seine offizielle eMail Adresse bei einer Webseite öffentlich angeben sollte. Gibt jeder nur seine Spam Adresse an hat die ganze Idee schon wieder an Mehrwert verloren. Dennoch war wohl diese Aktion eine perfekte Werbung die durch Techrunch sehr gefördert wurde.

At first impression, Loowa seems to be a site similar to Who Are You (TechCrunch’s Review) which allows anyone to associate their email address to basic information and a photo. However, Loowa is much more providing users with a complete and customizable profile. You can look at it as a simplified and cleaned up version of MySpace.

The German-based social email site that allows users to upload images of themselves, so that if another user types in an email address, an image of that person could pop-up. hmmm. If you follow techcrunch, you would have the seen the site had received some “mixed” reviews, and in the comments, there was a barrage of complaints regarding the name of the site, which Michael Arrington responded, by saying that it was “unfortunate”. But what was unfortunate that nothing was said in the initial review about the name. Who-r-you, would be suspect if spelled out in such a manner, however whoryou, looks a little more…vulgar. 40-something comments later, and the point was addressed rather thoroughly.

Gravatar already enjoys a relatively wide support thanks to its already working API. Why people waste their energy on cloning instead of creating something new or at least in something significantly different and hopefully better? Also, put yourselves in the shoes of the developers who will have to support all those different APIs, if they manage to survive, of course.
