I remember your thread from several months ago in which you were pondering on whether to launch... after almost a year in development. I must say that your website looks almost flawless, and the video by Epipheo does a fantastic job at explaining what Taketake is all about. I would think that Taketake is more like ShopSocial.ly + Blippy.
By the way, how did the idea come about? I'm asking because we're in social commerce ourselves and generally interested in developments in the space.
Thanks for the feedback! The idea started back in Fall of 2008 when we bought the domain name. The original idea was to create a place where people would give their take - review products they have and had.
The idea spun from our internet marketing efforts at the time. Lots of people are searching for reviews online and there's so much spam content out there... we set to find a solution. It's only about a year later that we started to work full-time on the idea. It was the first time for us to work on a project like this and made all sorts of mistakes along the way. But we're finally done and releasing it!
Feel free to email me at matt at taketake, perhaps we can help each other in the space! Cheers!
