A pity about their clueless home page. Please tell me what you're going to give me in exchange for my email address.
I understand the importance to a business of reaping the email address up-front. But there needs to be a clear quid pro quo. For all I can tell from the home page, I'm signing up for Amway, and the next message I get will be from one of my dear cousins trying to shame me into buying some overpriced soap.
So can anyone here tell me what Branch is about?
- sherjilozair 14y agoYou could check out bulletin.branch.com for some context. This serves as a demo of what they are trying to do. http://branch.com/b/obvious-and-branch-partner-up http://branch.com/b/obvious-and-branch-partner-up
- mechanical_fish 14y agoI hit that link before griping. [EDIT: the bulletin's root link, that is, not the deep link you provided - thanks for that.] I was that kind, at least. It links to a blog. This margin is too small to contain my full lecture about why you do not want to introduce your product to the world via a blog, but here's the condensed version: The top of the Bulletin is an out-of-context article about Twitter integration with the Mystery Product. Then the next half-dozen entries are beautiful photos of people being hired to work on the Mystery Product. Then I got bored with scrolling and gave up. I'm not going to hunt for your call to action.
