#2oh man. I love the idea of iteration but I think there are times in which it's time to move on to a new idea.

#3Hrm, it is similar to how there are always bikini clad women at tech conferences. I wonder where that chapter is in your standard marketing book.

In the marketing book I most recently read ("Buy-ology", I think it was called), the author claims that this technique doesn't work for advertising. People remember the bikini-clad woman, not whatever she was advertising.

I think it is an excuse for the stereotypical sex-starved geeks to hire strippers without going to a strip club. I don't really get it.
(Someone used "booth babes" at their job booth at a Perl conference a few years ago. Classy. I realllly want to work for you now...)

this is just a weekend experiment. if people care about organizing around a certain subset of content (in this case sexy content), then doctors would love to have their own
emergencymed.doctorblah.com, etc.

#9Hey Alex, long time no speak! Here's some quick feedback.
I have an incentive to collect these images and occassionally share them with friends. However, I don't think I have an incentive to start doing it on a group basis. This alone prevents me from using the site. I think the danger of this far outweighs the benefit that groups bring (getting cliques on the service in one shot). I think making this an individual thing and giving an option to share is a better way to go.
Also, I don't think I'd mind if the images I collect show up on the front page anonymously. This gives huge incentive for people to come to the site and just browse. I know you have public groups, but the group thing doesn't work well for me.
Keep on trucking!

#10Haha. I had created something fairly similar to Snipd a while back called CommonplaceLog.com (a commonplace is basically a 15th century scrapbook).
I've since abandoned the project but it's still online. Cool to see someone pick up the banner though.
