It sounded like a brilliant idea and when Amen was launched on the TechCrunch Disrupt SF stage: an app as a game to find the best and the worst of everything. It was a big concept built around the idea of structured big data. And for a while it was a lot of fun. "This is the best cafe in London ever", "This is the best bar in New York ever" etc - and your friends could argue with a "Hell No". That game produced better quality data and much of it based on location. It also probably helped that they signed up Ashton Kutcher as an investor and promoter (even Demi Moore used it for a while). But as we know, the average person just wants answers, not games. That's why Yelp exists. So it's little surprise then that we've leaned that Amen is in the midst of producing another app which capitalises on all this data called Thanks. We understand the company is trying to keep this link private as they are in private beta, but it's on a publicly accessible page here. It looks like Amen will still be available as a game, with Thanks simply pulled all the juicy data from it.
