• Hard to plan time sensitive activities between friends that have the app and friends that don’t via Facebook. People don’t respond or notice communications via Facebook as quickly as they do with SMS and email, the primary tools for planning time sensitive activities.
• Our solution needs to be 10x better than the existing tools people use
(text message and email) in order to change people’s behaviors. It appears that our solution is only slightly better.
• Users need content in the beginning of the product experience in order to be engaged and want to come back. With our app, most users didn’t have any messages in the beginning, and therefor didn’t come back.
Research Learnings
Conclusion – Focusing on the communication between people wasn’t working. Existing tools are good enough.
We go back to the drawing board and re-think social bookmarking, where we began…
F#b. 1, 2012
1. Focus on unlocking each others desires
Near term – places of desire
Longer term – any desire, a place…activity…adventure
2. Leverage SMS and email instead of creating a new communication channel

We test more, and learn… We all have a list of desires…trying a new sushi spot, a wine bar a friend just went to, a concert for your favorite
new band, BUT we can’t easily share these desires with our friends and see their desires unless we’re talking with
one another.
We all want to share what we desire with our friends, and find out who’s in with us.
M!r+- 9, 2012
New Vision Help you achieve your desires by sharing them with the people you want to experience those desires with
From the everyday desire of trying a new restaurant…to
the once in a life time desire to travel the world…
We help people find Who’s In
