YadaHome.com: A New Type of Web 2.0
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Social networks are a dime a dozen these days. Some are really creative and inventive and others, eh, not so much. There is a new social network on the scene, though, that is sure to make parents, particularly moms, stop and take notice: YadaHome.com. At first glance YadaHome doesn't appear to be a classic social network, although you can create a profile, join groups, and meet members, but the homepage is beautiful enough that it draws you into exploring beyond its opening page. And in all honesty it is a treat to explore on YadaHome. They have literally thought of everything a busy mom needs at her fingertips from coupons, shopping deals, and delicious recipes to listings of local events and even fun stuff like games and horoscopes.
The main attraction at YadaHome, though, is the user page or dashboard.They have designed a virtual fridge where you can create and print shopping and to-do lists, fill
out important dates on your calendar, list emergency and everyday contacts, keep a journal, upload family photos, and read your YadaHome email. There are even more features on your virtual fridge; you have to see it to really appreciate it. The YadaHome.com virtual fridge is the most creative aspect on a site we've seen in a long time and is a real reason to sign up as a member.Arguably YadaHome has a ways to go yet to become a more polished site with greater interaction between members and offering more features such as a greater selection of local events and local guides, but for a startup they are definitely on the right track and are well worth bookmarking because of their attention to detail and creative elements.
