I am the “researcher” in question if you can call me that (it’s a tad too generous). The above social currency metrics are my current research targets and I am super interested in what you think is missing in them.
So I decided to do that very, very rare thing where instead of dropping in when interesting community stuff happens, and lurking on occasion, I actually make myself heard because I would love to hear your thoughts if you’re willing to expand on this concept for me?
I know it’s super off topic, so you can either respond here or respond to TK! She’s helping me a lot by providing examples. I don’t log in often but, I’ll watch my inbox for the next few weeks.
Hi Venia, nice to meet you. Hope you are able to help Hoop get a RockStar beginning with this venture, his work is beyond outstanding and I for one would love seeing him amply rewarded for it.
Thank you for your generous help, much appreciated.
Even if the campaign doesn’t make the goal, this whole process from concept onward has been a lot of fun for me. Everyone has been very supportive and kind. Thanks for that! :+1:
I think she was mostly just asking what the “dark patterns” were… But I certainly enjoyed watching the look on her face while she tried to figure out if she just accidentally got volunteered to help.
I would say it is missing something. I wont define it but I will try to describe it as I see it. However, maybe these are related to your other points in some deeper way that requires acronyms before or after your name.
Depending on your audience/content I think it also helps to have one or more of these:
Ok guys and gals… I would really like to see this effort go into production. As I stated, I have a beta unit. Hoop asked me to use it and to provide any feedback that I might have. We discussed top and bottom modes, mode counts, ramping, magnets, pocket clips and finish over the duration of use. I have carried this one pretty often to work over the last nearly 2 months. It has been dropped, it has been run hard and is no worse for the wear. I did not even melt it’s face off!
This just gets dropped in my jeans pocket with change, finger nail clippers and pens. It has survived very well. It now lives on my desk at work, gets lots of looks from flashlight newbies… when I turn it on high, the general question is OMG how is it so bright?
Post it on Instagram and hashtag all the flashlight sites. Start a FB group and point the instagram to that group. I sold 200 custom Ti-Lans in a month doing that.
