the social graph we are building are around specific context, relationships, events, and interests that you actually care about versus linear connections that linger in a 1 to 1 friend based social graph. single Fridges might be single serving and temporal but as more are created the relationships that are built/formed/carried on to others are what is valuable.
monetization is definitely in the works with a few things cooking and not necessarily from freemium offerings only.
while the right acquisition is fine and dandy we are trying to build something that has legs...
Thanks for jumping in, Austin. I wouldn't expect a direct answer as to your monetization strategies. I was hoping others had monetization ideas that were as yet escaping me.
Can we expect any kind of data report from you? A growth chart, usage data, anything that might defend the viability of the concept to those who question whether we need another social network?
definitely... in the middle of a large rewrite to address server side things as well as front facing speed/usability issues.
after the dust settles and we get the fridge humming we should be able to have some meaningful data...
not sure the fridge is "another" social network but rather clusters of networks where people follow interests rather than other people... eh, semantics i guess but feeds into how we are growing the product.
