iYomu

Stuff reports on the latest social networking site, with the difference being this one is designed for adults! iYomu.com launches in a few weeks.  The name stands for I, you, me and us.

I got a preview of the site last week and was impressed with the look and feel of it.  It presents some information graphically in a pretty neat way.  The feature that most appealed to me was the 1 GB of storage space which operates almost as a virtual hard drive.  One can just drag your “my documents” icon over to back it up.  I can see that being pretty popular, especially in areas without data caps.

One can check the beta site out for yourself with the password being iyomubeta.

Mauricio on Geekzone has also blogged on it.  NBR profiles it also as does Peter Griffin in the Herald.

I am always impressed with entrepeneurs who are willing to take a risk and invest their money in a good concept or idea.  It is thanks to them we live in a dynamic world – people like Rod Drury with Xero, and the people behind iYomu.  Of course not all succeed (and there is no reward without risk) but innovation is how we move forward.
