i’m pretty sure that he had left intermix before they incubated myspace, in fact i think he left the industry completely and was writing a children’s book or something. the vcs they love the myspace people so maybe they glossed over this

Finally!!! A tasteful solution to sending out a paperless card/invitation. I couldn’t and wouldn’t use any of the others before. Can’t wait. Shawn is a genius and Amy is a visionary! I’m certain it will be extremely valuable for individuals and corporations wanting utilize a fantastic paperless option with great style and ease!

GO COCODOT. And by the way, I love the name…VERY catchy! (true about Google – what kind of word was that – now it’s become a verb)!

Cocodot me!

Love the tag line “Create + Celebrate”. Gold is a highly creative/thoughtful guy and bound to succeed.

Evite was my first thought as well. And they are probably being sneaky so they don’t get sued out of existence before birth, as Evite is known to do.

Stealth is actually a fighter bomber——as in stealth technology——–In shawn’s case, they won’t see him coming until its too late to say no

They are not a company until they have an actual product.

What the hell is stealth? You’re a business, not a ninja.

In the past few years we have seen Social Networking lead the way for communications, business, and even politics… This site is leading the race for data portability. Way to go!!!… I can’t wait to see this one blow up…

Brilliant… piggy backing off of social networking and making it a real experience for real people who actually know each other. It’s about time… can’t wait for this to launch…

Very Funny – all the knee jerk critiques. I’m pretty sure there were many people who thought the Beatles was a stupid name for a music group. I’ve seen some of the alpha as well and it’s very nicely done. It has elements of FB and eVite but it’s a new beast. Good luck to those guys.

Oh darn, I thought you would be interested——–President Obama and his wife have invested in Cocodot (not true)
More than cute———very exciting in a boring world

Not an intelligent comment. Maybe they can change the name to Orgasm in order to get you excited?

I was over at Shawn’s a few weeks ago and saw the alpha. Very well thought out, very impressive. Add in his track record and it’s a no-brainer investment for a VC

So they’ve announced they’ve got some money & an exec who used to work for a social networking site, but they’ve failed to mentioned a product or a business plan.

Well I’m optimistic…

can we refer to “stealth” startups as simply “startups”, and just point out when they’re “non-stealth”?
