Mobspin makes it easy to ask for (and share) recommendations with your friends across a wide range of topics

What Company Is Offering:

Mobspin makes it easy to ask for (and share) recommendations with your friends across a wide range of topics.

How It Works:

The questions, reviews, and comments you write can be seen by any other Mobspin user, and will eventually be available to the general public as well.

However, only people who are "connected" to you can see your name or picture attached to what you've written (or see your profile).

"Connected" users are your friends (one degree away), your friends' friends (two degrees), and the friends of your friends' friends (three degrees).

Your content will appear anonymous to everyone else.
Only people connected to you — within three degrees of friendship — can reply to your questions or comment on your reviews.
