Will overhear.us translate outside SF? - "corporate america is not centered in California"
- danielha 19y agoI think all of these concerns that startup commenters keep raising about overhear.us is generally unfounded. Getting blocked at work is not the end of the line (it's a great thing if it reaches that point), and receiving registration confirmations at your company email isn't going to be a big deal either, I think. These comments about its simplicity are ridiculous, even. Users don't care. They're not all browsing TechCrunch looking for the most complex-sounding startup to use. Simple, intuitive, effective design is the hardest thing to get down.
- jey 19y ago"and receiving registration confirmations at your company email isn't going to be a big deal either, I think." I think that's enough to scare away a lot of potential users. If I had a gripe against my employer, I wouldn't want to sign up with my work address, because that's a clear way for the employer to know who's blabbing on overhear.us.
