“Created by the brains here at MyStrands, yes the social recommendation company. We realize there may be some hesitation and questions as to how a bunch of techies know how to party. We were all in college once, we can tell our Jager Bombs from our keyboards, and as hard as it is to believe, we don´t live in our cubicles all day. We´ve also recruited the help of bar owners, DJs, and promoters to help build partyStrands into the product it is today.

PartyStrands takes the Web 2.0 modus operandi and takes it into meatspace. Club goers are sure to love the interaction, the ability to pick their own music, and the fact that PartyStrands is a world-wide phenomenon. Meanwhile, club owners and promoters get extra profits and advertising.

This could work, but it could also flop like a fish out of water. Text messaging with the people around you? When people go to clubs, socializing, ie, face to face conversation, is part of the fun, no? Will club goers want to stare at a screen all night long?
