Wakoopa – Software Gone Social
I first heard about Wakoopa this morning while listening to Buzz Out Loud and it was described as “Last.fm for software”. Very interesting, I thought.
I’ve been using xfire for a while, but not for the IM capabilities (who needs another one of those?). I use xfire because it keeps track of what games you are playing and how long you are playing them. It creates these nifty badges which you can put in forum signatures and such to share your gaming habits. The only problem I had was xfire doesn’t provide an RSS feed so I’m not able to add the information to my Jaiku presence stream.
Enter Wakoopa.
Wakoopa, using a small tracker application you installed on your Windows or Mac, will keep track of all software you run (including games), how long you run them, and some other information such as what version they are. The result is the perfect place to create a profile of “what you do”, share applications with others, find new applications, review applications, and even find out when new versions are available.
I found RSS feeds for my recently used software, my contact’s recently used software, reviews of software I use, and versions of software I use. It fed right into Jaiku and I’m a happy camper.
