Knozen 2.0

Thanks @rrhoover. We learned a lunch a bunch from our launch. Here’s what we got right and lessons learned: What we got right: - People are *very* interested in what others think of them. Call it whatever you like - personality, character, attitude — users were definitely very interested in sharing their views on others. - Users really appreciated our “positive, constructive” stance. We don’t allow negative comments, or anonymous sniping. That really resonated with users. - Our algorithms work for generating accurate profiles of people. From a relatively small sample size, we’re able to produce pretty accurate profiles of people. It’s really pretty amazing. Lessons learned: - We need to show you groups of people that you know. We thought, with all the Facebook SDK changes, that aggregating groups by work e-mail domain would be easier and more effective than by Facebook. Nope. 1/3 of people would not give us their work e-mail no matter what. - Anonymity was less important to users than we thought. We’d anticipated that users would not want anybody else to know their votes, at all. Turns out that sharing those votes was something they really enjoyed and were doing by email, text, and Facebook anyway, so making the app two player made sense. Thanks!
