Show HN: A social network + wiki for future products

2 points by wonjun ↗ HN
Hello HN, we have launched Hypejar in beta mode a month ago.

Hypejar aims to organize all of the world's upcoming mass products and make it more accessible. Visitors can see when products are coming out along with information about them. Also, users can keep track of products and be notified of their releases. It's a fun way to see what your friends are anticipating.

We are currently doing our best to make the site be as useful as possible. As such, we would greatly appreciate if you can provide us with your thoughts about the site.

www.hypejar.com

To see how the idea/concept was born in 2006, please check out blog.hypejar.com. You may be surprised.

What's so different from Metacritic sans technology products (which you could gauge through a more specialized website)? What do you guys offer that would make a user want to switch over?

That's a good question. Firstly, Metacritic focuses its score/reviews of critics and not really the public. Hypejar on the other hand, focuses on the level anticipation of the general public before a product releases.

Secondly, Hypejar focuses only on products before they release whereas Metacritic does both pre and post release of products.

Hypejar also offers notification system for upcoming releases and features such as the Browse and the Calendar.

So to answer your question, it's not really to "switch over" users, but to rather offer something vastly different.
