I got an interesting email last night from David Hissami, CEO of The Whoa Show, who wanted to clarify a TechCrunch Article comparing the service to an Exquisite Corpse, which he felt was inaccurate.
I guess TC author Erick Schonfield is sticking to his guns, so armed with some new info, StartupEarth sets the record straight.

Ah MetroFunk, where do I even start? First of all, this is an invite only social network for schmoozing with “Trend Setters, nightlife personalities, fashion designers yadiyada..” so if you actually enjoy the company of the arrogant, elitist, self-proclaimed in-crowd, you might want to join this site.
Join the site, that is.. if they deem you [...]
I had a little play with ReachBy this morning, a startup that claims to protect your privacy by storing all your personal details in one place. Wait, that sounds wrong. Let me try again. Reachby protects your personal details by storing them all together on a website. Hang on.. this review isn’t going well at [...]
Online Dating: The last refuge of the socially inept. Ideal for the 35 year old virgin who lives in his mothers basement, making plasticine ladies and getting the boobs “just right” before going online with a photo of Antonio Banderas ripped from Google Images to meet lonely saps of (hopefully) the opposite sex in a [...]
Let me kick off this review by pointing to the ‘?’ in the title, as I do not intend to make the assertion that this fledgeling start-up can compete with the likes of StumbleUpon (yet), but on first glance at streakr.com, the comparison is inevitable.

Rather than focus on websites and blog articles, ‘ilike’ allows users to share [...]
Well this has to be among the wierdest startups I’ve ever come accross. DaddyIWantWebsite is a service that allows parents to buy a specially tailored website for their screaming brat (sorry, adorable kid).
Websites comes in 3 packages; Starter - for newborns (oh come on), Pro - for older kids, and Premium - for teenagers.
I don’t [...]
The Future of Web Apps Expo ‘07 hits London, with Kevin Rose (Pownce/Digg), Dav Morin (Facebook) and Michael Arrington (Techcrunch) among the guest speakers.
Running from the 3rd to the 5th October, the event features workshops from Yahoo!’s Steve Souders and Six Apart marketing director, Deborah Schultz.

Podobo (www.podobo.com) is a twitter variant that seems to encourage more philosophical musings than its better known counterpart, and it does this without losing the light and fluffy ‘web 2.0′ aesthetic and social aspects we’ve all come to expect.
Despite it being a one-man operation, podobo seems to achieve the goal of getting users to purge [...]
Every blogger loves widgets, and many also quite like money (that’s why they’re always banging on about it) so what could be better than a widget that makes money? Until someone finds a way to involve beer in that equation , WidgetBuck$ might just be the answer.
The idea is simple; you embed the widget code [...]
