Amen was a social networking service.
Noted for its addictive, mad lib-like feel[1] and ability to create structured data,[2] Amen has received attention, having been selected as one of Venturebeat's top 5 favorites from TechCrunch Disrupt 2011.[3]
"You fire up the app on the iPhone or web browser and say a person, place or thing is “the best” or “the worst” ever, like like, the Best Dubstep track ever...You can agree with this statement with an “Amen”. But with a “Hell no” you have to suggest an alternative answer. It's a rigid structure, but you can post whatever you want.".[2]
Amen was started in February 2011 by Felix Petersen, Florian Weber and Caitlin Winner.[4] Seed round investors include Index and A Grade.[5] In August 2013, Amen was bought by tape.tv.[6] In February 2015 tape.tv announced the shut down of the platform.
