We’ve already covered ULIKE in the past. You may recall: it used to be called ULIK. Well, Ulik, cofounded by Mathieu Léronde & Raphaël Labbé, has become ULIKE.net. I like a lot the vision behind ULIKE: ULIKE is not a web app, nor is it software or a “cultural Facebook”. ULIKE is before all a vibrant community whose members are taking pleasure on sharing their tastes. You can tell their community is extremely powerful by the density of their contributions: once you’ve subscribed and spent some time on the service, it becomes addictive naturally when you meet new people & discover new things you may like. Here’s a screenshot of their new, beautiful, interface:

I suggest you take a look at their excellent advertising: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXKICOo5qdM]

…or the movie their team (now funded by AXA Private Equity, one of the best VCs in Europe) made for their launch party. The movie highlights the 100 top contributors: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dZcV_iyhv4] (I love the music, by BNN)

Now that the introduction is made, what’s ULIKE for?

- meeting new people, alike or very different, both virtually and in real life (ULIKERS tend to meet quite a lot offline)

- discovering new stuff: books, paintings, cities, people, etc.

-  sharing your tastes with your friends, family & fools so that they can buy you gifts

-  and having your own non-geek online gallery accessible to all online (so called ULIKE lounge).

At least, this is the way I use it. How about you?
