Against my better judgment I went to a theater that's notorious for being a teenage hangout. I, like you, can maybe think of one other bad experience I've had at the movies before this weekend. Tattlr certainly wouldn't be an everyday kind

Fair enough. So how do you personally deal with disturbances in movie theaters?

Is the difference in resolution that discernible? (Serious question btw)

Fair enough. How about using FB Connect for login as a means of holding people accountable for their complaints?

Thanks a lot for your input. I'm struggling with the monetization issue though. Namely: What type of pricing model can we offer movie theater companies? Monthly fee? One-time lump sum for each theater? I'm not sure how that would work.

I would assume most people would view the bright light as far less abrasive than the guy being noisy talking on his telephone in the middle of a movie. Besides, 3 quick button presses ensures that most people will hardly notice the brief il

Before my experience this past weekend I would've agreed with you. However the same argument can be made for earthquake or flood insurance. Chances are you wont need it, but if you do need it you'll be glad to know you have it. As far as Ta

1 of 2 ways: 1) Charge each user a nominal fee for download. OR 2) Charge movie theaters for their participation. Imagine the profitable data we'll be supplying them with on every person that checks-in to their movie theater using Tattlr. T

No problem. In order to use Tattlr, you would have to "check-in" using the app. The theater, thanks to the complementary Tattlr web app, would have instant access to the basic info of each user including their seating location. It'd be impo

>>>Since you're relying on the cinemas' cooperation anyway, why not sell them a button to be installed under each armrest?<<< Seems to me that you can have the same effect with Tattlr without having to hard-wire an e

Theaters that offer assigned seating can automatically update your Tattlr profile with your seating for the given movie. In theaters that do not offer assigned seating, users would have to manually enter in their own row # and seat # after

To test the OP's theory, I just submitted a post with my idea for a new movie app here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2654826 Essentially its an app that allows you to report any disturbances while watching a movie in theaters. I th

by GeoffreyHull 15y ago
Interesting point. Especially given the current "bigger is better" trend for smartphone screens these days. That's why it'd be important for Tattlr to offer a short process to report the disturbance. Look at it this way: If I pull out my ph

So competitors need only eliminate the unscrupulous practices to avoid being considered clones? Seems like a dubious distinction at best.

Hmmm. I don't think I was suggesting that we'll continue to see a rate of return of 20,000%. What I was suggesting is that many will perceive BitCoin's historical performance as an asset as proof it would be better treated as an asset, not

On its way to becoming an asset indeed. Over the last year bitcoin has seen a ~20,000% return rate. If bitcoin gets uberpopular (i.e. each coin is worth ~ US$2m) within 20 years, then BitCoin would have a return rate of ~ 85% per year consi
