creepy


What about safety if the bus crashes?


Making a second appearance... they also posted about 2 years ago


Oh the irony, a bank that offers a burner like credit card numbers and pretends to not know the aggregate transactions using the guise of privacy

LOL


What is a failure you are most proud of?


Why would someone use Shoutt instead of something like Twitter or Facebook?


Shoutt is a location based app. We are bringing the concept of shouting to your mobile phone - when you shoutt, only the people around you can hear you.

It's basically an information platform to share with people around you. It would work best in existing communities like colleges, neighborhoods and even cities. The network moves with you and connects you to the people you share the same time and location with. Also, there are no friends or followers. On Shoutt what you share is more important than who you are.

It's also a great way to find the most relevant information around you.


This description (and justification!) is missing on the splash page, and could be helpful.

Eg something like this:

"Shoutt lets you hear and share what's happening around you, no matter who you are or who you know. It's a social network that moves as you move, connecting you to the people around you."

Also, can I ask why Shoutt instead of Shout? The double T doesn't really appeal to me.


We're changing our page once we launch this week to a more descriptive one. It will cover everything I mentioned (and more).

We initially stumbled into "tt" because we couldn't find a domain name for Shout. But once we did, we felt that it added an edge.


It is sad that with that much money they largely didn't deliver anything and then left the project to be maintained by the community.


They (and other collaborators of course) delivered a lot of working code. Was there something in particular you wanted that didn't get implemented?


I think the feature most folks miss is a userbase.
