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.
