Very nice! I've been wanting something like this for a couple years now.
I don't live in a city though, so the value of this (people I don't know using the service) is low. Have you thought about how people like me can help get the word out easier?
- BIackSwan 14y agoHi, I am one of the cofounders. Shoutt works better with your friends around you, this is because your friends are more likely to help you. When you shoutt if your friends are around, we'll let them know first.
- akhilpai 14y agoRight, but what I meant was triadic closure. I can tell my friends to use this, but since I can already communicate with them through existing services (which may include geolocation like fb's find friends nearby or highlight) there's no real value there for me. The value comes from talking to people who may not be on your social network (e.g. all of the use case examples on your page should be directed at as big a local audience as possible).
- neeharc 14y agoThe point of Shoutt is to find what you need, not just to connect with people you don't know. Whether a person is a friend or a stranger is secondary. It's just that friends are always more likely to help.
