Tech Meetup and other musings...
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Went to my second New York Tech Meetup today (http://www.meetup.com/ny-tech/). Always an interesting experience. Very little women get up and pitch...my hope is to change that soon...
GTIO is almost ready for launching our alpha version!! Development team has got all the major features up and ready...just working out some bugs and IA issues before we hit QA later this week.
I'm thinking about some new ideas for GTIO:
1. The anti-friend idea: Forget your "Friend" network...use our site to get honest opinions without the bs that friends may have to serve up. Nice and simple...and a little anti social/friend/FB
2. Go try on... a little black dress contest: Maybe we work with brands to "sponsor" real fashion shows...and we give the winner something special....
3. GTIO: is not for the person that is so confident about his/her look...we are for anyone that just needs an opinion. You don't need to upload the perfect photo here...You photo will dissolve in 30 days...so we care less about saving what you look like...we want to be more utilitarian ....less dreamy.

Over the past two days I've been made aware of two very interesting websites that utilize some of the same concepts and ideas of what GoTryitOn hopes to do...
They are below:
http://www.tobi.com/
http://myfashionplate.com/home.aspx
In general they are interesting ways people are experiencing the social retailing space, but ultimately, different than what we seek to do.
Gotryiton.com seeks to provide real time, honest opinions about your look. It's that simple. We are not a retail site, we are not a virtual reality world... we believe there is always a need for a second opinion on your look, and we hope you will go try it on...in order to get that real, honest opinion.
We are not a site for the fearful... We are a site for the brave...the person who looks the world in the eye and asks, how can I look even better? We are the community for the optimist who seeks to look her best.
We are not a shopping website, though we highly value user's opinions and recommendations around clothing… Ultimately, we are about serving YOU, and we believe that some real treasures can be discovered in your closet...it's just about putting it all together in the right way... We want to provide that second opinion right away...and if there is a way to add on to your look, well, we want you to share that too!

The Art of the Trench....
...What I find most interesting about a site like this is that the brand has taken precautionary measures to ensure the highest quality images to be uploaded and displayed on the site/ to represent its brand. By having a renowned stylist be the curator for the images, there is a sense of exclusivity that may or may not be a good thing. By using Schuman as a "middle man" if you will, the brand is only dipping its toe into the social space... yet it's better than nothing, and is a very innovative fun way to engage with the brand!
