Research Learnings 1.  Hard to plan time sensitive activities via Facebook 2.  Our solution may only be slightly better than current

tools: text message, email, Facebook. Needs to be 10x better to change behaviors

3.  Users need content in the beginning of the product experience

Focusing on the communication between people wasn’t working…

We go back to the drawing board and re-think social

bookmarking, where we began…

F#b. 1, 2012

1. Focus on unlocking each others desires

Near term – places of desire

Longer term – any desire, a place…activity…adventure

2. Leverage SMS and email instead of creating a new communication channel

Re-thinking Social Bookmarking

Back to bookmarking, but built around people and their desires. We focus on mobile first.

We test more, and learn…

We all have a list of desires…a new sushi spot, wine bar, music venue, or museum, BUT we can’t easily share these

with our friends and see their desires unless we’re talking with one another.

We all want to share what we desire with our friends, and

find out who’s in with us.

M!r+- 6, 2012

We’re ready for more beta testers

To expand our beta tester group above the 100 restricted accounts via Test Flight, our testing service, we submit to

the Apple App Store.

We’ll soon be in a better position to distribute our app to more people to further test product engagement.

New Vision

To help the world share their desires with the people who will help reach them

From the everyday desire of trying a new restaurant…to

the once in a life time desire to travel the world…

We help people find Who’s In

Much more to come…
