SocialU is social PU

Posted on August 26, 2008 By Doriano 4 Comments on SocialU is social PU

navbar I had the pleasure (or displeasure) of reviewing a new startup called SocialU on mashable.com in a post called Social Networking Air App SocialU wants to be your everything. On paper it looked like a great idea but once you installed it and started using it things went south in a hurry. My piece was not a hatchet job and quite honestly I was too nice to SocialU. I couldn’t believe how rough others were on it such as ReadWriteWeb which actually went as far as personally attacking the way the founder of the startup looked. He later retracted it after someone called him out about it in the comments, which was the right thing to do.

I was disappointed with the service for many reasons such as the advertisements, the silly social dollars concept and the Facebook ripoff of buying gifts from a virtual store, etc. Also, the way it looked and sluggish performance. Still, I will give them credit for trying to create something new and different. No need to get harsh about it like so many others get. I’m not mad, just disappointed.
