Great site, great design, great video.
Still don't get it. Is it Instagram + Foursquare? There is a lot of iteration on this idea of feedback on and sharing about places and the return is getting less and less interesting to the consumer. Without a network of people to see what I "liked" in the app, why would I want to like anything? Isn't the purpose of a "like"--to show that I enjoyed a place?
- wink 15y agoYes, this. My first thought actually was "Meh, I hate it when sites can't get their message across in 2 simple sentences." Out of pure coincidence of me laying on my couch sick I did click the video and I really loved it. Text is so much better than people explaining. That said, I'm not won over to the concept, this is typically something I'd post on Twitter or Facebook directly. (Physical things or checkins at places or photos).
- mmastrac 15y agoWe're definitely trying to build an instagram-like app, in that people will just share things they like in their daily life (people, places, things - not necessarily just businesses) through cheers, and push them to Facebook/Twitter/other networks for their existing social networks to see. Bootstrapping an app like this without your friends in the system is definitely tough, but we've tried to encourage a model where people will interact with other strangers in the system by trading 'likes' (we call it 'cheering on') on each other's content. You can give 'cheerfluence' to other users by just interacting with their content. This turns out to work fairly well - lots of people in the system are following other people in the system, not necessarily those who they need, who just happen to be in the system and are putting content in.
