Ex-Googlers Start Up Likaholix, A Micro-Sharing Service For Personal Recommendations

I think it's a really good idea but I wish they'd have chosen a better name for it, and maybe a better logo design.

Maybe I'm dense, but where's the value-add in this?

At the moment there is none, it is nothing more than a game of "how much information can you get out of me before I grow tired of this toy." Obvious next steps would be to use this data to offer you "your friends like/recommend" services at some point where you are making a decision about what to buy or what to do.

The first part (what we see now) is easy, getting your service into the decision-making flow for part two is much harder.

I signed up for the service, and I found HN ycombinator there. I recommended ycombinator of course!

The service is very simple... but maybe this is good if we look at it from the "launch fast and iterate" approach!
