Richerd and I built http://sinkorship.com/ http://sinkorship.com/ about a month ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3899231 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3899231. Got on the HN front page for 10+ hours, tons of attention, tweets, press etc.
Except nobody paid.
- lukeinth 14y agoI think it made a lot of people smile when they saw the concept. Perhaps its time spin it into http://shipandsink.com/ http://shipandsink.com/ ;-)
- vineet 14y agoI liked the idea. But perhaps it needs to be tweaked. Getting gaming right is hard. Maybe: * offer a $100 credit to start off. * offer more services than just a tweet if successful - for example a very simple feedback widget that shows up. * charge only for delaying ship dates, but not for changing what is being shipped, or for minor delays (say within a week). * don't charge if the person accepts public humiliation with a tweet saying "I sucked and did not ship my planned item.".
