I think you might have missed a trick here. Calling it listgeeks and populating it with largely pointless, useless lists hides the fact that it could be quite a useful resource. You need some quality control.

^ Hint: iphone shopping list app, which would push info to your server and use results for suggesting what to buy. That's b2b. Let me know when your API is out -
- DerickRhodes0
Yep. Read/write.
- Cool. I hope it will come out soon.pauliusuza
- We're getting there!DerickRhodes

Are you planning an API?

Thanks - we're still playing with the search engine. I'll add that to our bug list.

Also a bug: why http://listgeeks.com/#!/view/fav… is not in the search results when I search for "wine"
- Adding title to search and prioritizing the results matching title with 2x score would solve the problempauliusuza

@DerickRhodes: One more thing, please add categories for your lists, so I can browse "food and drink" to find all lists with let's say - wine.

@pauliusuza: Thanks! What we're doing is very different from what they did, from my perspective, but I appreciate the feedback/advice.

@DerickRhodes: good luck with your launch.
However, keep in mind that Listiki did not have any success or market acceptance despite getting seed funding and publicity. It will be very hard to make this project financially viable, especially if your whole business model revives around ads or affiliate sales.
My suggestion - go b2b, enable business use of your product, and do it fast.

@aldebaran: We're still just getting started, but we think it's going to be both fun and interesting to draw correlations between things that might not be so obvious. As for how anyone would use this, right now most of the people making lists are using them to communicate, just like they would in Twitter or Facebook updates. Here are a few especially awesome recent lists:

Similar thing launched about a year ago in Athens OpenCoffee called Listiki.

Is there an underlying point or use for this site? I just don't get why any one would use this.
