Interest-based social network “The Pool” launches today; I’ve jumped in!

July 16, 2012

Minute Monday

Happy Monday

I came across this TechCrunch piece on the launch of The Pool; think of it as a more curated and automated form of Google+ circles. I was intrigued so asked for an invite, which was extended last night.

So here are the steps I went through:

 

 

What’s interesting is you can make this about dating or just connecting with people who share your interests. My profile was created by pulling key points from Facebook.

You get matched with someone each day and have 12 hours to reach-out.

I’ll report back how it goes after a week; either way love that this is interest-based vs. social.

    I started using sozialPapier (it’s an interest based network). It’s wonderful in my personal opinion. It help me to connect like minded people in my life. http://www.sozialPapier.com
