Fair Project Highlight: Have a Web Conversation with Your Friends
Few people know that during the dot-com bubble, I tried to start a company about annotating the web, so that your friends could influence what you see. It makes sense to think that the web by itself is too large and needs to be personalized.
So I got very interested when I saw Austin Brandt post a Fair Project around the concept of “Web Conversations.” It’s a space that I had been avidly watching for almost 10 years! So I challenged him right away to probe if he was any different than the few plug-ins I had seen come out in the last few years.
To my surprise, he had an idea that was new and innovative. When he explained it to me in details, it made a lot of sense. It’s one of those ideas that sounds quite simple and obvious once you hear it, but somehow, no one has done it yet.
Austin is a student in entrepreneurship in Illinois with a strong history of entrepreneurship. He brings vision and business sense to the project. He is looking for a software developer to further expand on the concept.
A lot can be done to improve the way we interact online and I believe that some amazing products will emerge in the coming years. I hope this project is one of them.
Yeah, it's a wonderful idea, I Emil Hajric joined him and now we're up and ready to take on the tackle for this business venture. We've setup our temporary website in which you can actually see the beta-prototype of the product.
