Thumbs Up!
I have a new addiction.
Thumb is an iPhone app that allows you to ask and receive an answer in a simple thumbs up/thumbs down fashion. What makes it even better is that it’s insanely fast. The first question I asked, had 99 answers within 10 minutes. Find me a market research firm that can get answers that quickly, free.
The interface on the iPhone is beautifully designed (the web interface could use some brushing up) and the built-in social features are addictive. It looks like the audience skews younger, my guess would be a similar demographic to Formspring, and you never know what kinds of questions you will receive.
I’m excited to see where this company goes in the future, but you can absolutely count on me playing with it some more. It’s the bizarrely perfect answer to social insecurity…
