Just whenever I see a word/expression that stands out I tend to assume it's something I might not know.
"audio story", "audio programme" and "audio maker" are all such expressions so bunched together it gives that sophisticated vibe.
So your selling point is "We pick the best content and get it to you", right?
But then again the selection is supposed to be wide both in terms of categories and time-length.
Do you have any good ideas on how you reconcile top quality and wide range?
Say my commute is 30 mins and I'm mainly into business/success story kind of things. Am I going to have something to listen to everyday?
- ayusaf 15y ago"We pick the best content and get it to you" - that's right! We have an editorial team for quality filtering and we're starting with content that would appeal to a certain type of person rather than categories or genres. In the same way that TED Talks may appeal to a certain type of person rather than someone who is looking for content on a niche category. Later, when we have more resources we'll look in to categories and if they may be of use. I worked on another startup in the same space and one of the main reasons that we stopped was because analytics showed that our users liked having good things to listen to rather than personalising, browsing by category or by mood. Creating a trusted channel and things that make listening easy (as in when you're rushing out in the morning to work) is the focus for now. I'm going to have to now go and make stuff!... a tiny team means lots of work and less time on HN ;)
