Ask HN: Looking for feedback/recommendations - Hoot.com We are about to launch hoot.com through Facebook friends, which we figure will reach approximately 5000 people immediately. Before we do, I thought that HN would be a good place to ask for feedback and comments. Thanks in advance. Leo |
I like how it find matches for products that have already been entered when you submit a new one, but it seems that only the first submission will set the product's URL and description, which is what most people will see when they view an item.
Also, it's not obvious at first what URL should be submitted for a product. I wanted to add 'Blast Corps.', but still am not sure what should be done for a product no longer in retail.
edit: it's the window-shopping that I don't get. The implementation of the idea looks great, I just fail to understand why anyone would engage in this activity to begin with.
like, it sees what i hoot and compares me to other people's hoots and suggests things for me to look at based on how i hoot.
i'd think that this is where the power would be, not to just see what gets the most hoots.
