@lyondhur I laughed so hard. You're exactly right, concern is correct, that will be the case for today I presume. The main motivation behind peek is showing others what you do, where you are, letting people join in your experiences. We'll be glad to have you back anytime. Thanks for your comment.
@arda_yaman Best of luck with the project mate. I guess more than the app itself, you lads seem to have the bet spirit behind the work (which counts more than people know).
Good fun! Peek is chatroulette for mobile - a gallery of confused looking early-adopters and VCs trying to figure out what's going on - no hot dogs, yet
@milank49 Hmm tough call. I think most "kids" may not use FB, but most have it. It's like checking your mailbox, even though you do everything by email. Also, lots of people get FB just to log into other applications. And in lieu of Instragram Connect, FB serves as a good signup/login product IMO, since it provides decent filters on ID authenticity, etc.
This launch page seems like it would confuse and alienate most people outside the world of product makers and marketers, do most of you disagree? Is this really the right way to go for a consumer product outside of just appealing to the PH community? Is that really the right early audience for this product? Mobile page had no calls to action even. Feel like most people would just churn.
@lukensok The main reason why we're building stuff is the consensus factor. We don't like following rules. I agree that we're ignoring conventional knowledge but that's the motivation behind peek. Therefore we don't really care having no call to actions at all. Thanks for your comment Lukens.
I'm working in Brazil and it was so nice to see a stream from back home in East Village, NYC! Once this hits critical mass, I could see using this to check out a protest on 6th Ave, whether a party at a bar is worth going to, or how crowded the park is.
One inconvenience is the number of push notifications I'm getting. It seems like the app sends one for every new stream. I turned them off for now but I'd turn it back on if they were a little more "intelligent". Maybe just notify me if a certain stream gets popular or if there's one within a certain distance of me.
@nicolasegosum great question. the motivation behind peek is going live from exactly where you are (a pub, a ceremony, a festival, anywhere). We want to emphasize locations instead of people (e.g conventional media) so "What's happening right now @somelocation" is the question we're trying to answer.
@arda_yaman thansk for the clarification. IMHO with Instagram just releasing Location Stories it will bee too long before they add a Location Lives feature. Like the idea tho. Congrats! :)
@nicolasegosum totally agree. but again, we're differentiating ourselves with being different. no followers, no profiles and so on. thanks again for your feedback, stay tuned to see where the hell peek is going. cheers man!
