Cambridge Cluster

Came across SnapMyLife (instantly share and view photos on your mobile phone) and see that George Grey is a founder and CEO; the same George Grey who founded Tadpole all those years ago.

In December 2008, SnapMyLife raised a “new $5 million round of funding, led by current investors North Bridge Venture Partners and Carmel Ventures“.  Also from the press release “SnapMyLife was launched in April, 2008 and has quickly grown to more than 1.5 million unique visitors per month and over 500,000 registered users.”  But why would I use SnapMyLife over Facebook?

I wonder what business plan resource SnapMyLife has used and who now owns what?  In the UK we could look at the data submitted to Companies House and get some idea of the ownership structure but in the freedom loving USA it is a closed book.

Only  pictures of Facebook on Zemanta – perhaps SnapMyLife needs photos on Flickr for us bloggers.

Mixed reviews on the App Store complaining about being slooooow.  Need to download and walk and check it out.  Hopefully I can make sure photos only uploaded when I return to the Wi-Fi world!

Ooooops! Download the app to my iPhone but it will not let me join – press join and it says that I must have already set my password and username.  So back to the website – cann’t be bothered.  What else will not work.  Frustrating.

Let us hope George Grey has more luck on the other side of The Pond!
