wis.dm now in beta – A social network of ideas

A little while back I mentioned wis.dm, a site that I've been helping with for about the last year. Rafe Needleman refers to it as a " Social Network of Ideas"

"This is a new web 2.0 business aiming to change the perceptions of social networking - how? - by encouraging original thinking, creative collaboration and innovative self promotion." in Martin's words, who started the whole thing.

Or, from their team blog, a more catchy bit:

_" …Finally, Zarathustra joyfully mused, I am free from the dull-eyed prisons of other social networking sites. It is not the HunyBaby123 or the Raiders_Fan1986 I seek.

Companions, the _creator _seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. I seek those who write new values on new tablets, and new tags on new ideas.

Zarathustra rose from his bed and logged onto wis.dm.

The future was looking bright…"_ (from wis.dm team blog)

Just the other day Rafe Needleman wrote a kind summary of what we've built:

"At the MIT Enterprise Forum event last week, I talked to the founders of Wis.dm , a new site that's a blend of social bookmarking and social networking. I'd call it a social network for ideas. I like it a lot." (from WebWare)

If this looks interesting to you, (IT SHOULD 🙂 I will be very glad to send you an invite by return email! The sooner you join the more likely you will get your very own actual name. Sorry, wis.dm/pito is already taken 🙂
