Video Review: Truemors - I don't get it
Written by Allen Stern - May 15, 2007
Mike has posted a few times about Truemors and today they have launched. Exciting! The site is already slow. So the basic idea is that you can "tell the world" anything - whether it's true or not. Basically post information about anyone or anything. You can post the information by phone, email, text or online. Posts show up on the home page immediately and then move to a category page once off the home page.
I just don't get it. I don't see any value here. In addition, on the technical side, how does something get to the "Greatest" category on the right? The "Truemors sucks" has 34 points yet it is not there, but others with 2-3 points are.
One of the comments on TechCrunch says, "Would this site even be covered by TechCrunch if it wasn’t Guy K. who was launching it?" I wondered the same thing in the video review with the blogosphere coverage. Will this be another case of success breeding success?
I will place a bet that within 30 days the site will be overrun with useless, worthless crap. Smear campaigns runneth over. Paris and Britney to have a baby together. TechCrunch buys CenterNetworks for $5 billion. Etc.
Anyway, check out my video review below.

I have the same impression after firs visit on this site – slow and where is the sense?
Greeting from antybwe.pl (Poland)
I assume you mean "first" by firs? I imagine Poland has a lot of breaking news about the internet right? My recomendation is to first learn english. Are you doing something better than this?
No need for that Ryan. In fact, most european people I speak with have a better grasp of English vs. people in the U.S.
Maybe you could learn Polish?
Don't be silly - we all see greatness of this site :) come to Poland to learn eBusiness from us!
Please keep your RECOMENDATIONS for yourself :)
That's funny that you don't get it. You probably didn't get twitter for a bit, but I believe you are now a user. Michael (your good buddy) didn't get twitter originally either. I dont have use for twitter or truemors, but can easily see the value of both. Engineers are the worst marketing people I've ever dealt with, but you wouldn't know by asking them.
