Sigh..another clueless techie starts an app that does…really nothing interesting…and has no business model.

How are you going to monetize it?

Sites like this are interesting for about 5 minutes, then people move on and never come back.

In many many ways, Diddit.com is similar to my company’s FanBash.com. Where the list building approach on Diddit focuses on personal to-dos and experiences, Fan Bash centers on sports lists anyone can rank and edit.

As far as list creation and item adding, our mechanisms are very similar. Fan Bash was online first, but props to them on the funding.

Our “business model” is to sell ads and then sell the site. It’s a bootstrap operation with virtually zero expenses. Not my first go around with this model, so I know it’s viable. I’d like to know their plan for providing a return on the $5M invested.

Overall, I just find it very interesting to see the same core concept and mechanisms for list building, but vastly different approaches to content (personal to-dos and activities vs. sports) and funding (VC backed vs. bootstrap).

Could be that another company already owns the name? *smacks forehead*

Interesting concept.

However, why didn’t they name themselves DidIt.com? Can you imagine how much traffic they’ll lose?

It’s funny to see that didddit.com (3 d’s) is forwarded to diddit.com (2 d’s), but didit.com is a separate entity.

That is a great point and a very important feature. We are going to roll that out just as soon as we get through the fB Connect approval process. Look for support soon and thanks the interest.

Not having an option for Facebook Connect is dumb, and leaves that flank open for competitors.

For travel and other stuff like exhibitions or books, good idea if used wisely and wide.
But $5 millions, specially nowadays, sounds a like a strange joke.

Looks like a lot of fun.

The quality of lists is surprisingly good for user-generated content. It will be interesting to see if that continues as the community gets larger.

The layout isn’t so nice for the iPhone in Safari, but I think that interesting lists could make for a fun iPhone experience.

5 million dollars??? I swear, I don’t believe there’s a recession out there if a site like this is being backed by 5 million.

Hope he kissed his 5 million goodbye before he gave it away.

Just took a quick whirl through it…

It’s kinda like they took all those “Likeness-type” Facebook apps and unified them in another site.

Now all they have to do is allow users to add photos, status updates, and … oh wait… users already have “walls”.

Agree with greg. This seems a lot like 43things, (http://www.43things.com), 43places (http://www.43places.com)
All Consuming (http://www.allconsuming.net/). And it’s been around much longer. But let’s see what diddit adds.
