I asked this question a few days ago on OpinionAided and to my buddies on Facebook. The results of my stunningly non-scientific research are in, and the world apparently thinks it’s a bad idea. Here are the results:
| Yes | 12 |
| No | 28 |
| Neutral | 6 |
| Total votes | 46 |
| Yes | 0 |
| No/not very useful | 5 |
| Maybe | 5 |
| Total votes | 10 |
The comments on the Facebook poll shows me that the biggest concern is the desire to keep social and work profiles separate. Personally, I agree with this to a large degree. However, I think an app like this would be useful for planning “social projects”, like a camping trip or something like that with your friends and family. There are projects that need management that aren’t necessarily related to work.
