Fantastic product video, well done guys, I completely understand the product, one question though: How does Boost know the difference between me wanting to buy a product and me just using a hashtag to show support?

@gregjwww Hi Greg, we work with the sellers to generate product specific hashtags. They are slightly different than normal as they are comprised of a prefix and a numerical suffix. A boost hashtag might look like #acme654 for example. We also check for pre-existing usage to make sure we don't generate something already in use.

Very cool idea, very cool video. But do you have something to prevent abuse? For example, one of my friends keep buying stuff with my phone, or worst, it was a thief, what do I/You do?

@tsunaze Pierre, to make a purchase the person would need access to your social accounts, and your SMS. Boost also directs the brands to ship to the address you add during sign-up. These measures make it very unlikely that someone would use your account without access.

@jmacias @dannyabas great idea! How i would go on: 1. Make it free for all (buyers and seller) 2. Collaborate with a huge company (get famous) 3. Expand extremely fast (with collaborations) 4. Make money with data and premium model for seller This idea has a huge potential! What's your plan?

@nicolashitz @jmacias Hey Nicolas, thanks man! 1) Our "Get It" link is getting updated, but we're actually waiving all Boost service fees for 90 days here - https://boo.st/?ref=ph. There will also be a service free version for charitable organizations. 2) We'll have some pretty major partner announcements, you'll dig it. 3) We have an influencer and agency program to accelerate. 4) Sellers will be able to "unlock" additional services and analytics.

Reboot Podcast #33 - Do I Even Have A Superpower?

Bravo! Been looking forward to this! As you're aware (#katch #cough) we're big fans of packing app functionality into hashtags and messaging. What platforms might we see beyond IG and Twitter?

@tarikh . Short answer is ALL OF THEM. To be less dramatic, we are rolling out support for YouTube and Facebook in July and have a roadmap of all your favorite networks lined up after that. I'm sure we will be back here to announce them soon.

I really love the idea of selling and buying through Hashtags. I would really love to see Boost grow. This is what I always wanted. Buy with a Hashtag. This is a major opportunity for eCommerce sites. Is it available worldwide? PS: The video is awesome.

looks pretty cool guys so does this plug into inventory directly? also I see a bit of a friction on the consumer side but I guess only time will tell

@rickats yes Rick, plugs directly into inventory on Shopify and Magento. Or can be managed independently with our own inventory solution.
