Spending money doesn't make you a business. Making money does. - One of the best quotes I've heard in a long time.

My new project is about to launch on Sunday. It's called Skmmr. We got featured on the Next Web yesterday (http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/10/24/skmmr-is-aiming-to-be-...) and are collecting some great interest for our beta.

Skmmr is a web app that focuses on small, intimate group content sharing. Create a circle of people around an interest or hobby, limited to 8 people, drag our bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar and when you find something you really want to share in that topic area with your close friends, drop it into that circle. We send a digest out every evening with the newest links shared in the last day.

Skmmr is run by 2 seniors at the University of Colorado and we're excited to release our beta on Sunday!

I think it's about personal preference. I'd want my loved ones to know what was going on if I had the ability and we were in some kind of a situation. Nosediving is totally different from an emergency landing, obviously. Having the luxury to update people I care about is nice, in my opinion.
