Post.fm - Email Reinvented
- freshfey 15y agoEven a little description about what the service does, would help tremendously to get my email address.
- p4bl0 15y agoI recently read on Quora that reinventing email or making email a thing of the past is among the startup ideas that persistently fail. "The first truly social email service." Is email something social? I'm not sure of that. And here we don't even know what the service is. Will I get an email address? Will it be compatible with the normal email? Is it another Facebook Message? I don't see why people would request an invite and give post.fm their email address if they don't know what to expect.
- lobster_johnson 15y ago> Is email something social? I'm not sure of that. Of course email is social. It's used by people to communicate with other people.
- tzm 15y agoAfter submitting it says "Like us on Facebook to get priority access". I'm not sure what it is yet :/ Is this a dark pattern emerging?
- Maci 15y agoOP left this comment 321 days ago. "An open / distributed alternative. Facebook today is like some initial proprietary version of email. Sooner or later, an open standard protocol for "sharing" and "social networking" (EMAIL + FOAF?) will take over. (And it has to be distributed, like email) That's what we're building at the mo :)" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1466023 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1466023

- asymptotic 15y agoIf I didn't have an email address, and Post.fm claims to re-invent email, and yet Post.fm requires an email address, does my head explode when I try to connect the dots? At some point obscurity stops being cool. I think I reached this point just before I left high school.
