There is already a company out there prior to FatDoor that has been extremely successful in the residential space. LifeAt (http://www.lifeat.com) is a modern twist on the building bulletin board, the self-proclaimed neighborhood gossip, the welcome wagon, and the earmarked local business guide, LifeAt keeps residents in touch with everything their community has to offer. CHECK IT OUT!

All the activity in this area indicates the potential that Activity Oriented search has to take search from “what” to “why”. None of the players trying to unseat evite have shown any indication that they know how to go beyond the few core users to the general demographics of evite users, and then move beyond invitations.
Someone will figure that out sooner or later.

#33, there is no need to start a new one. We already started one in the East Bay, and is ready to expand to the Bay Area and internationally later this year. BTW, we’d really like to have a small fraction of that 7 millions!

ps… I am really serious about starting a new company to help me get to my neighbors, given that this company is dazed and confused about what is a good idea. Email me if you have the technical talent to work with me at : gigs-643121488@craigslist.org. Just posted on craigslist gigs http://sfbay.cr.../643121488.html

I live in the bay area, we just need a couple of us to make this happen…

the post from the “head” of Marketing at centerd is bs. Who needs a head of marketing for a prelaunch web concept company anyway? how many people are working there?

on another note, who wants to start a company with me to help get to know my neighbors?

Looks like Centerd has abandoned that concept.. email me if you do, seems like a good opportunity still.

Meh. Did a community events/reviews project, then a community business reviews project, then a community real estate referrals system, then a…

I learned that the web 1.0 model of selling stuff to people for money is WAY easier. My ceiling might be in the tens of millions instead of billions, but I think I can sleep knowing that. Oh, and I GET to sleep. It’s neat, I highly recommend it.
