Fomo - Online equivalent of a busy store.

@jeffrey_wyman Respectfully, I completely disagree. I think popovers, full screen grabs, etc. are interruption marketing. We think of Fomo more like reviews or testimonials on steroids than as a tool that interrupts. With Fomo, you can opt out for months at a time, it will never stop you from reading content or doing anything on a site, and it won't insult you. Instead, it gently surfaces information to your visitors. I wrote about this more on our blog, would love your thoughts - http://blog.usefomo.com/dont-fig...

@jwmares wouldn't you rather have their full attention on your content?

@jeffrey_wyman Truthfully, that's often not enough. For lots of content, adding a social proof layers - reviews, comments, testimonials, etc. - makes people want to engage further in your content, not leave your site.

@jeffrey_wyman I've been on sites that do this and I never thought of it as an interruption or as marketing. It just felt like the store was active. Often, I can't tell if an online business is even running any more or shut down. I check the copyright date for a clue, but that often auto-updates. Something like Fomo lets me know it's still up and other people trust it.

@andrewwarner ok, you convince me.. I will give it a shot ;)

@thebriankidwell thanks for the support brian! the corner is all for now, but a future release will have exactly what you're proposing -- the ability to both a) inject fomo notifications into specific page elements (ie: custom

@ryanckulp boom! Love it man. Keep up the great work

@thebriankidwell big fan of your flight list BTW... going to bali next month because of it!

@ryanckulp oh awesome! Congrats man! I got a flight out to Bali in February for $467 or something like that thanks to Scott. 🙌Scott is damn good at finding cheap flights! I'd love to put the site here on PH but I'm not sure if it fits the "product" requirement...

@thebriankidwell hmmm IDK, anything that makes the world a better place and works in my sleep is a product to me. what do you think @bentossell? heard of the scott's flights platform?

@evankimbrell thanks for the love evan! and exactly-- stale testimonials are on their way out. rich, up-to-date, customer-centric media is on the way in. syncing with slack chat signups would be a great use case. let me know if you need help implementing on your platform.

@brentsum thanks Brent! BTW, super impressed with the Codefreebnb.com project -- was admiring it earlier this week when it was featured on HackerNewsletter.

@jawise You don't love Arnold?!

@ryanckulp I saw the drawing as Arnold but someone with less pop-culture savvy might see something different or misinterpret your intentions. More about first impressions than feelings about Arnold.

@jawise thanks for the feedback jason. a new homepage design is already in the works -- we'll consider this in that iteration.

@ryanckulp Nice! Looking forward to seeing the updates...Best of luck to you guys!

@brunowong thanks Bruno! Great question. About 6 weeks ago we launched an analytics tool for a small group of our ecommerce customers. Of the 130 who authenticated their Google Analytics platforms with Fomo, they generated a collective $511,000 in sales. Since we have a few thousand customers, we predict Fomo has generated north of $10 million in sales for our customers.

@mrsharma Yup, FitTea is a customer, BooTea used to be. ;)

@ryanckulp Oh nice! Love the product :)

@davegerhardt Thanks man!
