The Monk and The Riddle was one of my favorite business/venture books (along with Startup)
Apparently even the funeral portal idea have a 2.0 incarnation. . . MEM, a startup that I found out through Alarm Clock.
Move over Flickr, Riya, Shutterbook and Co., Cincinnati-based MeM (Making Everlasting Memories) is an application-specific photo-sharing service that targets the funeral business. The company claims 2M uniques per month and raising rapidly.
We just read one MeM for Maxamilian Warner LeRoy who worked for Yoko Ono in the Dakota apartment and who died at the young age of 30. MeM provides a biography, a movie, slide-show, tributes, and the ability to easily send gifts, flowers, or leave tributes. We can see application specific media sharing sites like this becoming more prevalent.
Geeze . . . is this the ultimate sign for bubble 2.0 ?
