We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Done Not Done today - the iPhone and web app that helps you find and do things you’ll love.  With this product, our goal is to help you see more great movies, read better books, and listen to more interesting music — with your friends.

The easiest way to get started is to download the iPhone app or visit the site — and find your friends.  Once you add a few people, you’ll start getting ideas of things to do and you can either add them to your Not Done list or mark them as Done along with a rating, to help guide your friends.  The more you use it, the better the product gets for you and your friends.

Over time, we’ll add new verbs (play, eat, visit) and look for smarter ways to bring in existing data from services to make things a whole lot easier for you.  Our promise is once you’ve told us the things you want to do, we’ll do everything in our power to make it easier to do those things.

Done Not Done was built in partnership with our friends at Fictive Kin, and is one of several exciting products we plan to announce in the coming months.

Done.
