Thanks for the question. We stopped focusing resources on Likealittle about 6 months ago to focus on our mobile app (what is now Circle www.discoverCircle.com). We believe that in order to give ourselves the greatest chance of being successful, we need to fully focus on one product so that we are thinking about it day and night and not diluting our resources. We think of Circle as a product in the same general space as Likealittle was (location based interaction), but with a much broader appeal and larger possible end game. I knew I was going to spend the same amount of time stressing, worrying and working hard no matter what startup I had so I want to do the idea that I am most passionate about and think has the biggest chance of changing the way the world works. Likealittle felt like sugar water to me... We learned an incredible amount about community management, viral marketing, and communication with our users through Likealittle and use those learnings on a daily basis as we develop Circle further. Btw, on a side note, I do think there is a market for anonymous location based chatting & flirting and if the community is well managed, somebody could run a successful site doing that. If somebody is extraordinarily interested in it, I'd be happy to let them know the "recipe" to get the initial takeoff on a college campus and may be willing to hand over our code if of interest. |
