I've been beta testing Everyme for a few months, and I am a huge fan of the founders too (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3539676 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3539676) Everyme makes perfect sense - I regularly encounter "status updates" (be they links, updates, or photos) that I want to share to a subset of my friends or family. Everyone does. The Techcrunch article totally under sells the huge thing that Everyme does that no one else does: > Everyme uses your phone’s address book for sharing, and if people don’t have Everyme accounts, they can still see and post content through email and text messages How cool is this? Suddenly, I can create a family circle - and even my family - who are barely on Facebook - can enjoy and engage with relevant content. I think this is huge, and it is also going to drive huge adoption for Everyme. My Grandmother isn't on Facebook, hell, she isn't on Email, but she is on SMS. Everyme just works. For the first time ever in a social network, when you post a relevant status update, everyone that you want to see it, will see it. I am hoping they add a Maps / Location feature, and then they've also solved the Beluga gap in this market. I really think these guys are on to something.

Hmm.. it wouldn't be useful to me since I don't an address book in my phone?

> Everyme uses your phone’s address book for sharing, and if people don’t have Everyme accounts, they can still see and post content through email and text messages This is actually a really cool way of solving your initial social network chicken and egg problem as well. When someone is regularly getting content from your app by text or email, they are eventually going to think of signing up for the service to make managing all that content easier.
