I can’t recall how we came to the decision to build Gahbunga, but I am happy to report that we are launching it in early beta this month.  If you visit the site you will be able to create an account, add friends and start using the service.  What is Gahbunga you ask? 

Gahbunga is ‘hot or not’ for your camera phone.  Here is how it works:  take a picture of your date or potential date with your camera phone and forward it to Gahbunga.  Gahbunga will send the picture to your friends, asking them to ‘rate’ your date on a 1-10 scale.  They will receive an SMS message asking them to check their email (most U.S. phones do not allow SMS attachments).  Within 30 minutes you will have an average score from your friends.  If you select the community rating option you will also receive an average score from all Gahbunga users who responded. 

Currently Gahbunga is written with basic LAMP technologies, incorporates SMS and postfix.  We plan to add certain functionality with AJAX shortly.  If you have an idea for an additional feature please leave a comment on the site.
