Stop DM-ing On Twitter And Start Using The Moped App
- szimpl 14y agoI'm using moped since it first came out last year. It's nice to see it evolve. Hope more people in my network will join.
- schuylerdeerman 14y agoToday, someone asked me for an intro (over Moped) - was just so fast, easy and simple to connect people - privately. We're exciting to see the product get into the hands of more people.
- brunoqc 14y agoWhy not use Facebook Messenger?
- untog 14y agoI can only speak for myself, but I have professional contacts on Twitter I would never dream of adding on Facebook. Twitter DMs are infuriating (lack of cross-platform sync is my own personal pain point) but to be honest, I usually just resort to e-mail. Moped looks cool, but I'm not 100% sure I will use it.
- schuylerdeerman 14y agoYou can also send emails from Moped. i.e. @schuyler@mopedlabs.com... and send your message
- ekurutepe 14y agoNow that we're on the first page of HN, we'd really appreciate any feedback by the HN community. Disclaimer: I develop the iOS app for moped. :)
- LaGrange 14y agoWell, what I would love to see in startup FAQs: what's your revenue model, i.e. how do I know that you won't get acquihired and shut down while selling your entire database to betelgeusian mafia? The app itself seems great, though.
- nchuhoai 14y agoReally wish more people I know would use Moped, it's so quick to message more than just text
- splatzone 14y agoWhy should I use this private platform instead of email?
- schuylerdeerman 14y agoEmail = lots of noise, lots of messages from companies. Moped is just for people.
- tommi 14y agoYou can filter out the noise easily e.g. whitelist desired senders, other messages go to secondary inbox. That way you don't have to make separation by sender type but by preference.
- ekurutepe 14y agoEmail is not very integrated with all the web based media services. Try sending a YouTube link or spotify song with moped. Or arrange a meet by inserting foursquare venues.
- taylorbuley 14y agoDon't vote this up. This is terrible tech journalism. Zero skepticism. It's a press release.
- CookWithMe 14y agoHave been using it during the last two months both for web and on android - it's great, can highly recommend it! Much better than WhatsApp or so. And the team is continually improving it, too. IFTTT integration is a nice bonus as well. Only caveat, as other people have pointed out as well, is that not a lot of people use it so far. Hope that changes quickly!
