Can someone chime in why this hasn't worked in the past?

It seems a personal/portable CRM could be highly useful. The second aspect is the vertical aspect (professional or "personal")

One thing I keep hearing from people that have sold companies, exited etc. is that they are having a hard time operating within their networks without the CRM.

I was thinking about something similar, but less cringy. More like: hey you haven't messaged your friend in 6 months, maybe you should ask them how they are doing. A priority queue but to help keep friendships alive.

I remember moaning about twitter reducing the number of characters people sent, and then yo! came out, and it was down to a single bit of data. That made me think 'what would even lower information content messages look like in a social network, perhaps half a bit or even less?'.

Dunno if this was intended as a joke, but I find the whole presentation of the site to be hilarious. Well done!

As others have said, if you were able to find if Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Grindr, etc... have open APIs that you could connect to your app? Same goes for things like Eventbrite or Meetup.

"I met so-and-so through (dating app) on (date/time) and we hit it off well. We then met up again via (event app) and continued meeting up regularly, and I was able to keep notes about so-and-so on the app - their favorite bars, foods, music, etc... as they revealed it to me, and the app was able to provide me with info as to when I was last in touch with them, when there's availability at their favorite restaurant, a music act at their favorite bar, etc..."

I'd love to have an app like that in my life.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't you have a pipeline with girls you're going to cold-call, and a dating life manager that breathes down your neck when you haven't taken at least 10 girls out this month?

Can there be endless meetings about whether your issues are top or bottom of funnel?
