I thought this for a few seconds as well. Then it hit me... that's because I'm not a 21 year old who already has 7-8 years worth of history stored on multiple social networking platforms... where I will continue to build and accumulate "stuff" for the rest of my life.
This idea is brilliant, and this kid understood it because it makes so much sense from his perspective. Even with my more limited context, once I "got it", I couldn't wait to try it out and it rocks.
You select your platforms, type what you are looking for into a search box and Greplin finds it instantly... no scrolling or searching. Check it out.
- astrofinch 16y agoI guess sometimes I have trouble remembering whether a conversation occurred on my old gmail account or my new one. I am also 19, for what it's worth.
- mtran 16y agoI think you can actually have more than one of the same type of account! I think I remember reading that one of Greplin's inventors decided to fund him bc every time they made a suggestion, he'd implement it right away and that was one of their suggestions! Guess I should stop saying "kid" here. Definitely no offense intended - I'm learning a ton on HN and never know how old anyone is. I just think it's awesome that his perspective led to this idea that I wouldn't have seen without help from mine!
