Another one out of the gate!
This week marks the official public launch of a second Giza Ofek Program company. This time around, the company is Viral Gurus who have opened their site to the big wide Internet.
Viral Gurus operates a site called Internet Is Fun. The name is pretty descriptive: Internet is Fun provides you the user with a new way to share all those interesting video clips, slide presentations, jokes, sound files, and other fun stuff that you normally get via email.
Internet is Fun still allows you to email these things to your friends and acquaintances. But it also adds a couple of new and useful functions. For instance the service allows you to:
- Have a discussion with your friends about a specific item - Does that YouTube video you got remind you of Haim in accounting? You probably won't leave a comment to that effect on YouTube, but you can here where it's relevant
- See how an item got to you and how it spread once you forwarded it - Internet is Fun tracks the viral spread of each item. You can see the chain of friends that led the item to your doorstep. More interestingly, you can see how an item spread out once you forwarded it. You send it to 10 friends and two weeks later more than 2000 people have seen it - cool!
- Collect all your fun items in one place - Internet is Fun automatically saves all the items you upload and forward to your own personal, customizable page, your "funblog". (This is like what Tumblr and similar microblogging sites enable you to do).
The site is open to everyone. You can check out my own funblog here. Feel free to friend me and let the fun begin.
