Ccube is a new over-the-phone social network launching today. The service lets you connect with friends and business prospects on sites like MySpace and eBay with the click of a button. Members can search for and talk to anyone for free. The service lets users link a Ccube username to their favorite connectivity device, including mobile and landline phones or VoIP services, keeping personal phone numbers private.
This is good for dating and social networking, especially on a site like Classmates and Reunion.com. A great way to reconnect with the guy who beat you up for lunch money or the girl you always wanted to ask out in high school.
I like the idea of voice profiles the most. The world is full of people with enough free time to yap away with strangers about all sorts of things. I worked with some people on a business plan the did just this, based on Skype, last year. It’s a compelling idea and the technology is all there to make it happen. It needs a solid scheduling feature to make it turely useful, who wants to get random calls all hours of the day?
The logo has a woman talking on the phone in her car while it looks like the door is open! And she’s not wearing a seatbelt, a la Jon Corzine. Thumbs down from the safety police.
