Wil Shipley’s Delicious Monster taken online.

The thing is that with Delicious Monster, you have the bar-code scanning feature, which is amazing. That way, you don’t have to do as much work as typing in all the metadata on the books, CDs, DVDs you want to input. AND all the prettiness that makes it a beautiful Mac OS X application. What more can some who’s bought all types of media “products” (not content, mind you… oh, the post ideas floweth: Difference between product and content).

With yoursharade though, you get the niceties of the social networking features of the Facebook API. I can definitely see this growing to be an advertising-powered web app, including leveraging (I’m using it again… uh oh…) the data stored about the user’s items to create focused advertising.

Of course… we all see what the next step is: putting the two together. Earlier, I had the idea/concept like yoursharade, but never really decided to follow through with it… but man, it’s quite clever they’re employing the Facebook networks.

Which brings me to another point: Has facebook become the de facto standard for keeping “in touch” in the college community?

And why the heck did I cancel my account?

All these things… answered soon…
