Dig it. Would like to see some filters, not in terms of categorizing the startups more so categorizing my mood when randomly searching (am I playful, business minded, bored, etc.)

@thejulielogan I like your idea a lot! Will definitely consider it.
@randomstartup :) what made you build it? And are you reaching out to startups actively to increase the quantity/quality of the random discoveries?
Report
@thejulielogan I wanted to play with Node.js over this past weekend, so I built randomStartup.org and that's basically all there is to the story :)
I will not be reaching out to startups just yet. I have hundreds (if the list hasn't gone over >1K yet) of startups to approve that people have already submitted via the "submit yours (free)" link.
Will think this week on how to take this idea further as I wasn't really expecting anything to come out of it. Like I said, it was supposed to only serve as a Node.js playground for myself.

@randomstartup That is usually when the magic happens... when you aren't expecting it!
Anyone know if this is a curated list of startups? How are they chosen?
Report
@berkeleymalagon Yes, the site uses a list of curated startups. Anyone can submit new startups through the "submit yours (free)" link at the top of the page. I'm working through the list daily and will publish about 100 new startups a day from the ones which were submitted.
This was surprisingly fun. I almost never load a page without having at least some hint of what's going to be there. Definitely something compelling here, in a "i'll have a good time for 2m then probably leave" kind of way.
@randomstartup Do you by any chance have any sort of data on average conversion rates for startups discovered via your site.
I'd submitted my "coming soon" landing page around Sep 2 - and since then I've had approx 200 visits which is super. However only 1 conversion.
Of course that could also be a function of
a) the quality of the landing page (which we will A/B test),
b) there not being a live product to play with (MVP coming soon) or
c) the quality of the traffic itself (ie not the right audience).
So while I address things I can control, was just wondering about any analytics from your end.
Cheers!

@AnujAdhiya I've actually started looking at the data these past few days and will write a blog post about the findings.
@vingar I do know of Clarity, but no, I don't follow the experts.
Thanks for the reminder though - they are a super resource which should be tapped at the right time.
Will say that so far I've had great advice from the @Growthhackers_ community for my testing/CRO type questions.
