Not sure how many of you have heard of or use Tangler, if you haven’t heard of Tangler it is basically a discussion network. You can have multiple discussion forums in one place, given that you create your group forum on Tangler. To my knowledge forums cannot be imported.
Anyway one of the best ways to use Tangler is to get invites from web apps in private Beta by joining their Beta Testers Group. If you are like me and just like trying out different web apps then you may find this site useful and fun. I have found sites such as Yumondo.com, CoZero.net, and Orgoo.com on there and it is also a great way to give feedback on apps.

Angela can you tell us a little more about these three services: Yumondo.com, CoZero.net, and Orgoo.com?

Yup, Tangle is pretty handy for that sort of stuff. I work for Tangler…
The companies use it for beta testing, but the invites come as a part of it.
Thanks for dropping by,

Yumondo is based out of Germany and is self described as a “urban stylesharing.” What it really is, is kinda like urban/city cool hunting/sharing. Its purpose is to help users find and share those hidden gems that are often over looked or lost in cities. I would use it, there is this place I go to get my hair done here in Charlotte it is a hole in the wall but a sista would be hard pressed to find a Dominican Salon straight from Brooklyn south of D.C. So it is stuff like that that could be shared on this site.
CoZero is well….Green Web 2.0. If you are green and environment cautious you can track and monitor your CO2 emissions. This site is also a great way to meet like minded people. The site does make it easy for users, somewhat. You can select the make and model of your car and it will calculate your CO2 emissions. It does the same for flights and your Home (based on zip code and address). When everything is added up you get a scorecard with your total CO2 emissions and a calculated dollar amount that you can opt to pay to basically buy your scorecard. And then you are a planet saver. The site means well but doing all of this I know and I think most people know that they don’t have to pay to be a planet saver.
Orgoo is the most interesting of all to me but I am not sure if it is launching anytime soon, if has been in private beta a while with no signs of coming out. Basically you can manage most means of electronic communication with it; email and IM and supposedly even text. Look for coverage once and if they launch.

thanks angela. just thought that others, and not myself, might want to know what the sites are about before even checking them out.
