Hey I'm one of the creators of Delight.
We're using Twitter as a starting point. We hope to work out what makes you tick, but ultimately that will only come from a conversation with you - thus why we've chosen to individually curate and pick content for all our users by hand.
If you pass us on any more info by clicking on "Tell us more", we'll use that too.
- sarreph 13y agoHow are you monetising the service? Charging people for curation?
- tomchambers 13y agoRight now it's completely unscalable, we just want to see if people find value in the personal touch vs an algorithm, as well if people prefer a small amount of high interest content rather than lots of mediocre stuff.
- sarreph 13y agoIt does seem unscalable, indeed; I asked how you plan on monetising the service, though?
- alexjeffrey 13y agoit sounds like this first phase is more market testing than the final product - I suspect if interest is high then they will have enough data and potential buyers to formulate a business plan.
- tomchambers 13y agoThat sums it up
- alexfringes 13y agoMy thoughts exactly. And we see articles on this kind of strategy on HN all the time. Typically they get a bunch of positive, "I like this in the abstract realm/will try this in the future"-type feedback. So I am a little surprised by the disbelief this particular instance is receiving.
- tnorthcutt 13y agoYou should tell `himerzi` that they are shadowbanned on HN.
- joeroot 13y agoHe noticed. 3 years of lurking down the drain.
- adyus 13y agoHave you considered using hunch.com to help with this?
