Wakoopa: Find new software
Wakoopa is a social network for people with a strong interest in computer usage. Users install an app on their PC that reports what software they use to Wakoopa, and Wakoopa shares that data with other users. The result? You get a list of what your peers consider cool, along with new software program suggestions. If you're concerned about your privacy, this social network might not be the best fit: The other part of Wakoopa's business model involves selling non-specific information to clients who seek to "understand what people do digitally."
