"feelzr connects you with all the people around the world born on the same day as you."
How is this a Top Startup? This seems like a very novel idea to me. Some of these companies sound interesting but I think this list needs a little editing.
- wtvanhest 14y agoMy favorite part of the description: "Believe it or not it’s hundreds, and they all live around the planet in different timezones." Its actually 20m. ~Also, to the person who made this app, I may install it for fun, so I'm not bashing the idea, just the funny math. Its another way to build a more random network.
- jaredsohn 14y agoIt seems that a big part of the value prop is that 1) it assumes there is some connection in terms of feelings experienced among people born on the same day (essentially a higher-fidelity astrology) and 2) that if you live in a later time zone, you can find out what is coming next by viewing the feelings of those in an earlier time zone. If one assumes that #1 has some truth to it, one has to wonder what will cause people in earlier time zones to use the app, since they don't get to take advantage of #2.
- piperos 14y agojaredsohn, very well and clearly put! about what you say that one needs to wonder... the answer could be something like this... the world is round, so where one starts counting timezones, or even where the day starts is kind of relative and a simple man made assumption this means that there's always earlier as well as later timezones wherever you are in the world... i think its quite clearly explained at blog.feelzr.com
