MakeMe http://make.me – Presented by V.Rao Dumpeti
Rao presented at the Columbia TechBreakfast. So this is a repeat presentation covered in my earlier post: http://2.healthca.mp/1eyWCqh
A photo sharing, messenger and social game app.
The idea is that achievement is a team sport. MakeMe is a social motivation app. You jointly set goals and consequences in the form of a game. This is messaging with a purpose for very small groups.
The app is available now in the iOS App Store. An android version will follow in the summer.
