Been playing with it for a short while, most of them seem to be writing about love and loss. Is it just me? or is there really a trend here? would love to hear some usage insights if it could be made public?

@dhanan Most of the female writers, write about love, romance and relationship. And male writers write about horror, war, soldier/warrior stories. This is the current Trend.

I love writing very short stories in my free time. Hope you know the Twitter account Very Short Story (https://twitter.com/VeryShortStory). I love reading stories there. I have a question. Why you guys stick on to 250 characters. Not a tweet length or a 1000 characters. Any particular reason?

@veryshorttale About 1000 char: We are focusing on mobile devices right now. 1000 char is too length on mobile devices. About Tweet length: We discuss with few of our early stage writers regarding the length. From their input we stick on to 250, because they can write a story 250 (which is almost twice the tweet length) and they need to find the correct word that fit the meaning + in the 250 limit. (feedback from few of our writer.)

@aby002 I don't think reading a 1000 character story is that difficult on a mobile device. I can't agree that with you. Finding the correct words that fit for the story and in 250 characters is a challenging part. I too like that. That's the main reason why I love micro size stories.

@veryshorttale Sorry Tony. It was not about reading a 1000 char story. It was about writing a 1000 char story on mobile device. Most of them are writing stories while they are traveling (to office, school). So its hard for them to write a 1000 char story on mobile devices. And happy to hear that you too like the challenging part of finding the correct word that fit the contest + the char limit.

@aby002 Got it. But you can give a draft option.

This is brilliant. Between 2010 to 2012, I ran a college start-up named thewittyshit.com which crowdsourced witty one-liners. Got great traction and eventually exited prematurely, because of some personal reasons. TaleHunt could be quite promising, becoming something like Behance for content. Could be a handy tool for HR managers looking to hire/reach out creative writers. An out of the blue suggestion: Focus on more of the witty tales, if possible, because it makes for an interesting read (thus virality) and also allows smartphone users to showcase their smartness.

@harshsnehanshu That's a cool suggestion Harsh. Witty tales & smartness from smartphone users. We got early stage traction and our users are recurring users. I was not able to find more details about thewittyshit.com (only FB page). I would like to more about the same.

@aby002 Sure. Here's a newspaper feature about us: http://www.dnaindia.com/money/re... I even wrote a book about the start-up failure: www.bit.ly/BSHAmazon

Can you make the password field paste-enabled? I use 1Password and I need to be able to paste my randomly generated password in there.

@nipponese, Right now the password field is not paste-enabled, we will look into it as there might be other users also who use similar apps for password. Thank you for the suggestion. (Y)

The tab bar at the top is messy - using iOS app. Its bit elongated and buttons are very small. Is this a known issue?
