When we first discussed this, we came to the conclusion that a lot of people don't read direct messages in Twitter. Based on this we chose to use a mention instead.
However, we are working on letting the user choose its preferred method of notification from within the app.
- dschobel 17y agoThat's a good point, and given the non-standard treatment of DMs in most twitter clients I've used it's almost definitely the right choice.
- prawn 17y agoAdded benefit of it spreading word of the service. Didn't investigate beyond the explanatory video, but it looks like a half decent idea. Just work on the public/marketing site a bit and I think you could pick up a few users. I also like the idea of intro seeds/credits. Well done.
