Opera group at Wakoopa

July 8, 2007 · by Philip Seyfi

Are you a Wakoopa user? If not, head over wakoopa.com as you are missing a lot, especially if you are a fan of Last.fm and similar community sites. If you are, I have just founded an Opera group so let's all join our forces and get the first place in most used software list! (Opera is currently third after IE and FF)

Wakoopa is a social network for software users. You download a little tracker on your PC or Mac, and every 15 minutes this updates your Wakoopa profile with a list of what software you’ve been using. This profile then enables you to add or invite friends and get updated about what they’re using, but also get updates about your software. Reviews that others have written or new versions of your software: it’s all on your dashboard. Even if you’re not a member of Wakoopa you’ll still be able to check out the coolest software. Since we apply the wisdom of crowds principle to software, you’ll be able to see exactly what’s popular and what’s the right tool for the job. Just browse the database by tags or categories, it’s all there! If you like software, then you’ll love Wakoopa.

I've come across this site before, but never bothered finding out what it did. Cheers for the heads up; although I have downloaded it and am using the software; I can't help but wonder whether it's actually a good or bad thing.

Their Privacy Policy is quite reassuring, though. I imagine I'll keep an eye to see if it changes, because I wouldn't like it if the data's being sold to third parties.
