About Snagsta
So, what is Snagsta?
Snagsta is a list-sharing and social recommendation website that helps you find things you'll like but haven't already heard of.
Three reasons why you'll absolutely love Snagsta:
It allows you to upload, and safely store, your favourite lists - from the top ten restaurants in West London to the best beach resorts in Asia - anything that comes to mind.
By using your network as a 'relevance'-filter, it helps you find things that interest you in the lists of people you trust - your friends.
And as Snagsta gets to know you (by comparing your tastes and lists to other users) we will recommend lists to you from like-minded people.
In essence, Snagsta helps you find the things Google can't.
But don't take our word for it. Listen to these guys:
Actually, if you want to take our word for it, you can see us in action here:
No really, you will love Snagsta. These smart people did:
“I was struggling to find things to do on my sister's hen weekend when I
discovered a friend's list about Summer in Oxford. After a beautiful walk we
ended up on the sunny terrace of the Trout pub. What more could 15 hungover
girls want!”
Natasha O'Connor, Designer, London.
“I was about to make my first trip to KL and had no idea what to do or even what
to expect, but I found two great lists on Snagsta that really helped -
especially the restaurant suggestions!”
Daphne Tan, Doctor, Singapore.
If you are still not really sure what we are going on about, perhaps this might help – it’s our original concept site that we put together way back when Snagsta was but twinkles in the founders’ collective eyes.
We’ve also put together two low budget videos to ‘explain’ the value of Snagsta:
And here's the boring bit if you are really, really interested:
The problem with the web today is that although search engines such as Google have become extremely proficient in helping us access data, they do not yet allow us to evaluate the results. Differing reviews about a product can often cancel one another out. Two people's idea of a 'good hotel' may differ substantially but Yahoo would return the same listing to both.
And the sheer volume of information and opinion that exists online can lead to analysis paralysis.
Snagsta's solution will not only take the pain out of online research by leveraging personal preferences to help users easily make choices, but it will also help them find new things they might like but haven't already heard of.
All that's needed to join Snagsta is a valid email address. And you don't need a network of friends to make Snagsta useful. Once you've registered, you can either upload some of your lists or simply search for what you're interested in and check out the lists of kindred spirits!
Wait, wait, what about my privacy?
At Snagsta we believe that people should have control over how they share their information and who can see it. To find out more go to our Privacy page.

Last, but definitely not least
We really need to thank a bunch of people without whom this Snagsta adventure would have been a deadly dull affair. Here is our wall of fame.
