Broong.com - Note Passing Gets Hi-Tech

Broong is one of those startups that seems like a sound idea, but you're not exactly sure what it adds. That's not to say it doesn't look pretty-- the design is simple and appealing, but the concept is a little underwhelming. Essentially, it's a site that lets you create and share your own notes. It's sort of like passing notes in high school gone Web 2.0. And, of course, like any new startup these days, you can share more than just words, you can share also sorts of multimedia, from photos, to videos and music. The notes are actually Post-it Note size, and they're conveniently available at a moment's glance. Search is easy too. Just enter a keyword or type of media file you want, and Broong will look for you. It's also available across all platforms including mobiles and PDA's.

"Broong is an online social note service that lets people search, create and share multimedia content via a quick note from anywhere with everyone. People use Broong to search, create and share their thoughts, videos and pictures across multiple platforms over desktop and mobile devices. "

If you like to write notes to yourself or others, Broong is a good way to share with others. The multimedia feature is a nice angle to take and the notes themselves are well designed and easy on the eyes.

Will anyone use this? Why make users sign in to view notes? Won't user want even easier access?
