How do you know an idea is ready to be pitched to investors? Does the Atrium Scale boot camp help with solidifying a problem need and the solution for it
I can definitely see where you're coming from but I think your solution is too complex. Right now I have a contact list of over 100 friends built up on Knok.Me with all of them maintaining their own contact info. People update their info and new friends join on a weekly basis. Its working for me and my close friends. When we release the mobile app we hope to reach more people. You could be right, but only time can tell. Thanks for your feedback!
Very fair points and I understand where you're coming from. I think this video demo will give you a better understanding of we're trying to do with Knok.Me: http://youtu.be/lBhzUAD7eJg
Very fair arguments. The really big point that I'm trying to make is that you're still keeping records for each everyone your contacts. Let's say you have John Smith in your address book and I'm friends with the same John Smith. I will also have a separate record of John Smith in my address book. People are creating unnecessary duplicate records of their contacts in their native address books. With Knok.Me we're letting people create their one profile that contains contact and social information of theirs. So you're the one who maintains your own contact information for you contacts. So each time someone adds you to their address book they are simply just sending a request to your profile. I would love to get your feedback on the idea. Feel free to shoot me an email if you want to chat more. I love hearing different perspectives on the problem. dami@knok.me .. I seriously think the address book isn't what it should be in this day and age.
Yes android does keep contacts synced but the problem is that you still never know if you have the most up to the date and relevant information about your contacts. Only you know your contact and social information best. We let users create one profile with all of their contact and social information. So when you can add a contact on knok.me you're sending a request to their profile. The syncing solution is very complex. You're still creating duplicate copies of each contact. It is very unnecessary.
