Whoever designed this page: this is a clever idea, the ideal goal (I assume) is for it to be spread around ("hey, did you see this neat photo uploader thing?") in which case why doesn't it link me to the app for download? I don't have bump, I want to try this idea... so I have to work out what the site url is and then go and find the app myself. Why not a "don't have bump? download here!" link?

I asked her if something was wrong with her computer and she replied 'No, I am banging my keyboard with my phone so I can upload photos to a website.'"
- j_col 15y agoYeah, clever viral marketing (which is clearly working as we're talking about it here). I was a bit suspicious that they wanted to captured my geo location on that page too.
- jrockway 15y agoBump works by correlating the time the "bump" occurs and the location of the bumps. Of course, tracking your location is an added benefit for someone that might care about that sort of thing.
- j_col 15y agoI get that now after reading this thread. The problem is my first instinct was "why the hell does this website want my location?" when there was nothing on the page to explain why it was requesting this.
- brown9-2 15y agoIn addition the page doesn't really tell you what will happen or how it will work until you install Bump and try it out.
