Cheezburger Creator’s Startup SimpleHoney Shifts Focus From Travel To ‘I Want Wish List’ App
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
SimpleHoney, the startup co-founded by Joyce Kim (former CEO of Korean pop site Soompi.com and former co-host of the GigaOm show) and Eric Nakagawa (creator of the I Can Has Cheezburger blog), is pursuing a new goal — creating the perfect app for “wish list commerce.”
When SimpleHoney launched in May of last year, its goal was to connect travelers with the right hotel based on their personality. The problem, according to Kim (who’s also the startup’s CEO), was that people just didn’t travel enough for the site to build an ongoing relationship with its users — it probably didn’t help that the site was limited to hotels San Francisco and Hawaii. At the same time, the team saw that its “stickiest” feature was the ability to create travel wishlists, so it decided to build a wishlist-focused app, which became the I Want Wish List iPhone app.
