Comments on: Spouse 2.0 Day: For Those That Give To Your Other Startup http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/04/spouse-20-day-for-those-that-give-to-your-other-startup/ Startup and Technology News Fri, 27 Nov 2009 17:35:00 -0800 hourly 1 By: Cole Kelly http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/04/spouse-20-day-for-those-that-give-to-your-other-startup/comment-page-1/#comment-1813390 Cole Kelly Thu, 06 Dec 2007 04:18:45 +0000 http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/04/spouse-20-day-for-those-that-give-to-your-other-startup/#comment-1813390 As a guy who is working on a startup that is in the same vein as this idea, I think taking a day to do something nice for the spouse or longtime partner is a good idea. A little peer pressure provided by Spouse2.0 is needed. If you are married or something close to it, its your most important social network. Taking a few moments to send a note, on real paper, that actually says "I appreciate you" and possibly some flowers is needed every now and then if you want to keep a relationship up. (Of course, it needs a lot more than that but the surprises really help.) And, Angela - my wife feels the same way.

Hey Silicon Valley-ites: How about just paying loving attention to one's spouse all the time, instead of letting your self-absorbed startup life ruin your marriage?

"Come to our new web site to learn how to show your appreciation for the spouse you neglected with your nonstop online obsessing." Err... How about just unplugging for a day? I'm sure the wife would like a nice long walk or a good shagging a hell of a lot more than watching you post pics of her opening the Wife 2.0 day gift you bought online.

How about those who've already upgraded to Spouse 3 or 4 - what do they get? This starts to sound a bit familar - like Mistress V2.0, Husband V3 and all those old favourites - yes, as with most of Web 2.0, not much really new here I'm afraid... So is this for Spouse #2?
