If you sent a Wuphf (pronounced "woof") to someone, the message went to the recipients' home phone, cell phone, email, fax, pager, Facebook, twitter, and AIM. The original WUPHF.com beta page is archived at: https://web.archive.org/web/20101122015439/http://www.wuphf.... And WUPH.com's business plan is archived at: https://web.archive.org/web/20101122022512/http://www.wuphf.... On the one hand, WUPH.com was a satire of Silicon Valley in a comedy sketch on an episode of "The Office" called "The Whistleblower" that aired in May 2010. So HootSuite, IFTTT, &c, &c, are all great examples of life imitating art (anti-mimesis). On the other hand, the WUPH.com beta site mentioned above actually worked, at least for a while, until NBC shut it down. There are a couple of write-ups about this on Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/oliverchiang/2010/11/19/the-offi... http://www.forbes.com/sites/oliverchiang/2010/11/19/the-next... |
