DudePins.com: A Website where People can Share Sweet Male Oriented Content with Friends

June 6, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

DudePins.com

Dudepins is all about sharing manly content. We wanted to create a community around male values and interests.

We had a lengthy and in-depth interview with Mr. “Kamil Szybalski” and Mr. “Colin Brown“; Co-Founders of the Canada (Vancouver, British Columbia)-based start-up “http://www.DudePins.com” about their Company.

Below is the full interview that we have conducted with both Mr. Szybalski and Mr. Brown regarding their start-up “DudePins.com”;

1. What is it exactly that you do and what “DudePins” is all about?

Dudepins is all about sharing manly content. We wanted to create a community around male values and interests. We are well aware of what others are doing in the online social inboard industry (I think we coined that term) but felt that Men were not well represented.

We want Dudepins to be engaging, fun and nsfw content free, we decided to exclude any female imagery primarily because we see a lot more value in growing the community around valuable, rich, content that is informative and interesting by nature. We received a lot of feedback form our users, fans, etc and believe that there are significant negatives attached to that type of content, despite that fact that it will drive ten times the amount of traffic primarily because of it’s shear viral nature; so, cars, cigars, scotch, news and how-to’s for us.

Both my partner and I are not developers, we actually enrolled in some online programming courses in a brave attempt to increase our ‘tech-appeal’, but we like to think we’re biz. dev, online marketing entrepreneurs by nature… so we’ll stick to what we do well and source the rest.

Tag line: Dudepins is all about fast cars, tailored suits and scotches that are older than dirt. Dudepins is a website to discover and share the coolest stuff for dudes. We at dudepins don’t discriminate between dudes, sirs, dukes, bros gentlemen and other men of honor. Dudes like sharing stuff. Man up. Sign up. Pin up. http://dudepins.com

2. When has “DudePins” been founded? And what stage is “DudePins” currently at?

We launched Dudepins about two weeks ago now and, to be honest, can’t keep up with invite requests and traffic demands. We are in a very ‘pre-beta’ phase, so seeing all the buzz around Dudepins is really an exciting, and honourable, experience. We are committing a lot to the site right now, making changes daily and increasing our user base incrementally as we move forward. Our concept is working, so press forward we shall; it turns out that scott and cigar brainstorming can actually output positive results..

Interactive Platform That Lets You Challenge Yourself And Your Friends to Pretty Much Anything!

We had a lengthy discussion with Mr. “Kevin Kim”, Co-Founder of the Canadian (Ontario)-based start-up “www.growple.com” regarding his newly formed venture.

As per Mr. Kim; Growple! wants you to do more, have fun and make a difference. Growple! is all about taking “social” and bringing it back to an age where conversing was a prized skill. If you’ve ever sat down in a room where everyone was on their phone, then you can see this invasion at work. There is no question about it, in the past 10 years technology has advanced at an exponential rate.

Mobile broadband subscriptions are expected to grow from 900 million in 2011, to almost 5 billion subscriptions in 2016. Additionally, 57% of the world’s population speaks more online than in real life. We’re constantly trading online connections for offline physical interaction when the two can not only coexist, but also harmoniously complement one another. [Read more...]
