Talking around the watercooler about … websites?life
Working with alot of web-designers, flash guys, and marketing people you’ll sometimes hear the watercooler talk drift towards something along the lines of “Oh did you see that website? Do you read his blog? I use this online service called…” Typically these social circles visit a grouping of the same websites on a daily basis and there’s a small chance for crossover in usage. Wouldn’t it be great if people ha a definitive answer for “the site, thing, person, idea, service website of the day?” How would it change your conversation.
Jitsu is that answer. Jitsu is a website that “provides a new website (almost) every day, promoting the coolest, neatest, sweetest, and swankiest people, products, places, and things!”
This sounds great considering that most of the other “site of the day” or “product of the day” proclamations are geared towards niche demographics. Jitsu takes it a step further by opening up the possibility of seeing a cool product on the Jitsu site or even an mp3 file. Basically anything that you can link-to on the web can be featured on Jitsu.
Why am I sneezing this? Despite my warnings to my friend Aaron, I am sneezing this because I think It’ll do well and is yet another great idea from 30 Second Rule and Forty Media.
I warned Aaron that I have some bad mojo and that I am usually buzz-kill, the thread killer, the conversation ender, and the opposite of a sneezer. If you search through the web you’ll find alot of forum posts that end with my post. I’ve been on irc channels where multiple conversations have been ping-ponging off the walls until the moment I say something, and then the room goes silent. *crickets* I have tried to get the word out for various 30SecondRule launches , but it always seems to end up with me waving my arms and people saying, “who’s that crazy guy with the orange on his head screaming ‘refresh’ ?”
Despite my role of being one of the blackholes of the web universe, I am pushing this bright idea because I think it has merit. And because it’s bright enough to escape even me.
