Review of MeOwns
I thought MeOwns might be in the Recommerce space somehow, but it looks like it is squarely in the vanity bling space. And for programmers and people who can read Arabic as well. At this point, the site is totally useless to me. Here is my good/bad review.
Good:
there is a widget
there is a bookmarklet neatly tucked in the top of the screen for easy dragging up to the browser.
the idea of wish lists is good. The idea of showing people your wish lists is good.
bad:
only 364 books on site. No ability to search amazon and add something. No ability to import from anywhere.
No ability to search any catalogue of products to add your products.
when adding you have to start with a picture. I guess the owners think everyone wants to show pictures of themselves with their stuff.
the widget just shows everyone lists of crap you own, but has no actionable work to be done.
they try to force you to invite your friends at sign-up.
a search for "Moby" resulted in nothing. I understand there is nothing on the site, but Moby is somewhere on the internet, come on.
when they said "share your stuff" i thought they would actually let me share stuff. But they only let you share lists of your stuff. Stupid.
there seems to be about 50 people total on the site. (actually the "owners" section says 439, mostly overseas) one in china.
what exactly is the point of having me claim my copy of "Internet Explorer 7"????
summary: keep working boys.
