The premise seems *identical* to Google Spaces. What's wrong with their implementation that makes Hive Social essential?

@chrismessina Hi Chris! Thank you for the question! The biggest feature-based difference between us and Google Spaces is that we take all the posts from the communities you are following and put them into a blended feed called the buzz. There are other differences that will be more important down the road and other features we plan to add too. The difference that matters the most is that Google Spaces is one of hundreds of Googles projects and is likely going to be just another thing Google dumped tons of money and little effort into. It will be something that had great potential but never took off. Google simply has too many things going on to care enough about the success of Google Spaces. This is a huge market that's very difficult to succeed in regardless of who you are. That's why the problem will likely be solved the best by a small company who cares more and is focused solely on the success of that one product.

@chrismessina Google Spaces is also essentially Facebook Groups, where every group has a "Owner" or creator. While you can create your own community in Hive if you don't see one you want, it doesn't make you the owner and no one can see who created it. This way, no one has more control over the community than someone else. I'd be interested to hear more of your thoughts after a few hours of using Hive (given your incredible background). Let me know what you think!

How do I turn on the location filter? I can tell that I'm seeing people from everywhere right now. Very cool concept!!

@melissa_ann Great question! The location filter will be added in a few weeks once we get rid of some of the bugs and get more initial feedback😄 Thank you for the support!!

Localized version of Yahoo's new chatrooms? Potentially viable. The site says it's only live on NDSU campus, so why hit @ProductHunt before the wide release / @robinhood-esque waitlist (+@Tilt with demand per metro)? @stvmcg @knutsonbrett @hivesocialapp @garyvee

Hey Product Hunt! My name is Brett Knutson and I am the Founder of Hive Social. I originally started Hive Social to solve a problem for my disabled mom. She lost her license a few years ago due to her disability and was stuck at home unable to make new friends. The current solutions available at the time didn't work for her and my goal was to create something that could help her find people nearby that shared her interests. After more thought I realized that everyone has trouble making friends at some point in life, whether it's because you just moved to a new area, you are a freshman in college, etc. Our mission statement is that we believe everyone deserves to be loved, to feel known, and to belong! We are brand new so any feedback and all questions are welcome!! Thanks for the support!

Hey @knutsonbrett love the mission and product. Question: With engaged communities (like @ProductHunt) there needs to be a constant stream of quality content. What is your team doing to ensure that the community always has quality content available?

@stvmcg Thanks Steve McGarry! Right now we actually have a contest going for the users who post the most high quality content. The contest runs through the end of this month and the user who posts the most high quality content (posts and comments that bring value to the hive social community) gets $1000. 2nd place gets $500, 3rd place gets $250, and a bunch of random drawings will take place for $100 and other prizes!

Refreshing, friendly, easy-to-use, intuitive, and an overall very fun and new way to use social media. Great way to connect with, and learn from people and even experts in any area of life you could think of! For example, let's say you just moved to a new city, and don't know anyone, but love baking... Hop on Hive, go to the community dedicated to "Baking", and just say exactly that! You'll be instantly met with people near you that love baking too, and could meet up with you! Quality friends, same hobbies, done.

Wanted to repost a reply to @stvmcg: Content is huge for us right now so we have a contest going for the users who post the most high quality content.

@knutsonbrett well played with the contest. That's a great way to both acquire new users and keep the current user base active.

This is a creative approach to a real life problem! I have already connected with several like-minded people on this app. I am very excited to continue using it, as well as experience future features...like the location filter!
