Exclusive First Look: UrbanSeeder, new social network
Here we get an exclusive first look, from the floor of the LIFT conference that happened last week in Geneva, Switzerland, to UrbanSeeder, which is a unique social networking application. Maya started it to meet people and to get out of the dating scene which she found totally unsatisfying.

Urbanseeder video preview by Scoble…
Just got back from 3gsm in Barcelona (more on that later), and saw that Podtech has released a great video preview about Urbanseeder, which includes an interview with the vivid founder Maya Lotan. Maya is a friend and we had…

[…] I just watched Scoble’s video about Urban Seeder, a new website in beta that invents a new paradigm for technology to assist meeting people you see in the real world. Urban Seeder was born out of a year long thesis project by its founder, who researched how people flirt and find love. It’s an interesting approach, since most consumer entrepreneurial ventures are born out of the instinct of its creators, and not a deep analysis of consumer behavior. (Large corporations, on the other hand, often have reams of market research and consumer insights data to support the viability and potential of a new product or service, as a way to mitigate risk.)

[…] Maya Lotan is preparing to launch a Beta version of her Interaction Ivrea (RIP) nurtured thesis that she describes as “2 shots of flirting, a shot of fashion, an ounce of technology and a twist of fate.” I had a chance to see the project in its early stages as a visiting professor at Ivrea along with Nick Durrant. Watch this video over on the Scoble show of Maya at the Lift conference giving some sneak previews of the interface. The idea has really taken off from its early beginnings and is *hot* in the current social networking climate. […]
