It's hard to imagine that it will work smoothly enough to be useful, at least right away, and more of an interesting gimmicky gadget. I'm looking forward to trying it regardless, assuming they succeed in releasing it (due September).
edit: Slightly misleading on their website. Says "Signup on the waitlist and be entered to win a FREE pair!" When you sign-up it then says they are giving away one per month and you can get one entry into the prize draw by doing certain things such as tweeting about them or liking them on FB, but that I have 0 entries for signing up to the waitlist. Meh, I would have signed up for updates anyway, and don't particularly care about a contest I'd likely not win, it's just the principle of misleading wording.
- sleepychu 10y ago+1 the kind of company I just don't want to deal with.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoReminds me of x.ai. You sign up, they put you on a huge "waitlist" that moves slowly, and periodically remind you that you can jump big chunks of that list by spamming people about the product on social media. Asking people to whore themselves on social media is becoming a new startup marketing strategy. I hate stuff like this.
- hackcasual 10y agoIt's not really new. Years ago before Facebook clamped down, it was pretty common practice to entice people to spam their friends list
