Sorry Paul, I definitely meant the press. I think I'm lumping PR in general with press incorrectly. Thanks for clarifying.
Your points on authentication is very interesting. It seems that the press definitely cares about names.
Our feedback from Hackernews is good, but in terms of getting people psyched about it, not so much, I think it's mainly because the target audience is not exactly the best one. The feedback we ARE getting is awesome, technical feedback, and experience driven feedback... but we haven't touched on the users who actually want to USE it. We will probably attack the other communities that are 1) people who love to shop, 2) people who do a ton of research on products. That probably also includes a ton of women in that as well.
Can't forget to build a good app either, so those improvements will come as well. It's hard to know what direction to go in and what to focus on without ample feedback. We have plenty of ideas of what could work, speculation, but validation of these ideas, or even new ideas is what we're fishing for now.
- kineticac 17y ago... oh and when I say attack the communities, I mean go there and talk to the people to see if they are interested in giving us some feedback =)
- raffi 17y agoI launched Feedback Army on HN and it did really well. I did it during a slow news day which helped. And the whole idea came from an HN discussion which helped. But I did make the front page of delicious that week. So sometimes it can work.
