Confusion = good launch page?
- vlokshin 14y agoConversions* = good launch page.
- hardoncollider 14y agoYou're wrong. And I vow to talk down your site to everybody around me if you think you can simply sacrifice my comfortability in browsing just for conversions. To hell with ya. This is MY internet.
- mosselman 14y agoI agree this is so annoying. I love the idea though... I have a good idea -> I pitch it and then 100 people start building my idea too. Nice! Now I don't think having an idea is the same as executing it well, but I could imagine people being hesitant. Oh and because of the annoying landing page I vow to never to use your site, nice try.
- vlokshin 14y agoSorry to have lost you, but thank you for the feedback!
- bpatrianakos 14y agoThere are tons of people who called Quora annoying for doing the same thing. They also have a tendency to go around in public talking about how they won't use it because it's so annoying. Annoying or not though, it gets people to sign up and many of those same people who claimed to not want to join because of it being annoying end up on the site. Maybe it is annoying but the concept works.
- mosselman 14y agoGood thing I am not so insecure about my ideas that I need others to give me validation for them. I can imagine though that the kind of person who goes to networking events on eventbrite, who starts talking about his 'great and orignal' 'idea' to create an app where people can take pictures of food in restaurants and then let others search these pictures to see whats for dinner around them, does need this validation. (I have actually been to numerous events where more than one person at a single event had this 'idea'. ) I think when your idea is crap, you secretly know it, but after quitting your job and investing all of your savings, it becomes really hard to cut your losses.
