wefi.pngLet’s all make a Web 2.0 gadget company, shall we? Please pick one item from column A and one from column B. Heck. Pick a few.

A B
Social Networking Handhelds
Ajax-enabled Monkey Cages
Buddy-list toting Trashcans
XML Feed Using Goat Farms
Ultra Simple Routers
Interactive, Sensing Weather Station
VoIP MP3 Players with Vibration


Hire a Stanford grad to help with the biznes and then launch. Does your company have to offer anything that anyone really wants or needs? Absolutely not. Take WeFi, for example. You set up a wireless access point. You share it. You can talk to people who are sharing it, provided they’re not just ganking your hotness and ignoring the fact that they have to install/visit some Website to use your Wi-Fi.

Yes, friends. This is a social networking Wi-Fi thingie. Want to stalk strangers? Want to be all like “Hi! I see you like Wi-Fi. Can we meet? No?” There used to be a phone booth back in Pittsburgh, where I went to college. You’d walk by it and a guy up in some apartment overlooking the booth would call the booth if he liked the way you looked. He’d essentially do some heavy breathing and ask you up. This sounds kind of like the Web 2.0 version of that.

  • John, can we add heavy breathing to column A? The important part of WeFi is making it a hell of a lot easier to use WiFi when you’re mobile. The social features are there so you can share with your friends more easily, but it works great even if you don’t use any of that stuff. Also, the stalkers are optional, we have a checkbox for that. Thanks for the “interactive, sensing goat farms” tip, I’m filing a patent right now.

  • If you tried to go online away from you nest, you already know how hard or expansive it is… Finding WiFi connection, and get connected is hard: every time something happens leaving you hanging dry… Finally somebody is doing something about this: WeFi leverages social search engine (hence social network, WEB 2.0) to create a new WiFi user experience: easy, quick, everywhere and….free!
