Goofy2 English version will be live in about one month! Here is what I had to say about this a few weeks ago….posted by Kashgar (Goofy2 co-founder). Nice one.
Goofy2 seems to me to have an appealing interface. It’s open, participatory and has a global reach. You can have rich connections with friends and colleagues around the world… to co-create, contemplate or just have fun.
I’ve copied the ‘About’ section (English translation) of Goofy2 for ease of reference:
- Goofy2 is a web-based easy-to-use software that people can use to post ideas in short text plus a rich media attachment, and share with friends and the world.
- You can use it to have discussions on topics that you choose;
- You can embed rich media codes to share music, images, videos and flash with people;
- You can brainstorm on things with colleagues;
- You can just talk when you need some listeners;
- Or, you just want to check out “what the world is thinking about…?”

I’ve been on vacation at Palm Cove in tropical Queensland…one of my beautiful spots. We took just the essentials (which includes our lap top). It was 10 years from our last visit. 10 years ago, we did not know about WiFi. But in 2008, different story.
WiFi hotspot quality and pricing varied considerably. Our accommodation was close to having WiFi in the apartment…but close was not good enough. So we had to go mobile.
At one resort we experienced very patchy performance…for $15 per 1 day of use. Result: money back. The accomodation agency had WiFi on offer…$10 for 40MB, no thanks. We took the local ice-cream/Internet cafe offer of $6.00 for one hour. There were several other resort-based hotspots available to choose from.
Whatever. I would have preferred to roam onto whatever hotspot best suited our location. As a consumer, all I want is access – I don’t care who provides it.
With WiFi connectivity available in many smart phones now, the demand for this form of wireless connectivity must be a factor on the minds of those that run holiday resorts. At least, I hope it is.
Our next vacation will be in October…this time Waikiki. I’ll be comparing WiFi experiences.
