So I joined StartupPlays a while ago and checked out their "Accelerator" program. Does everyone else have a different experience than me? The place felt dead to me...like a ghost town with only a handful of active participants.
Was I just using the interface incorrectly and not finding the activity or something?
I don't know. I have found some of their resources really helpful (like the articles you can get from the accel.io part) but i haven't engaged with the community too much yet. They seem like great folks though, so hopefully it will grow? Dunno.
We're really excited to be featured at spot #9 (thanks Startup Plays!).
Typeform| (http://www.typeform.com) is our take on how to evolve forms and surveys for the many devices, form factors and input interfaces available nowadays.
Visually attractive, with touch input in mind, responsive designed, usable, pleasant and gracefully degradable to support old devices.
We're a young, enthusiastic, startup based in Barcelona, ready to take online forms and surveys to a whole new level.
I really like the potential here and signed up for an invite. I'm wondering though where data would live, and what kind of access we'd have to it. E.g. what kind of export options are there? Or, can form data be automatically dumped somewhere else?
Well, this is nice to see first thing in the morning! It's exciting to see our startup picked up in articles like this! I'm the founder of GameWisp, so let me know you guys have any questions!
Thanks Franco and StartupPlays! Mike here with Erli Bird. I'm usually a lurker here on HN but shouldn't be. Our goal is to help new startups get some users, feedback, and improve. We also want to provide a way for early adopters to get more involved early-on and help shape companies they love. We've had a few nice success stories, but we have a long way to go and are constantly trying to learn and improve. Happy to answer any questions and listen to any feedback that you have.
I used Fiestah for an event in NY and was very happy with the experience: it made event organizing much easier. Its a pretty solid idea if they can scale up both sides of the marketplace.
Kareer.me is excited and honored to be a part of this post. Lots of other great companies as well.CopyBar, Mover.io, Quivee, and others look awesome. Great finds!
GameWisp looks pretty interesting, I wonder if we are going to see more and more cloud services focused on supporting mobile/web games rather than applications.
Hey thanks for the interest. Make sure you apply to test, if you want to check it out. We are going to start adding another round of testers really soon. Any questions off the bat?
Out of curiosity, at which Alexa rank range do you take new sites serious? 100,000? 50,000?
From a little bit of research it looks like piccys.com has 30 million page views with an Alexa rank of 8518, and weheartit.com has 850 million page views with a rank of 1367. So the top 10,000 seem difficult to get into as a newcomer.
Anything inside a million at least suggests that there are real users visiting the site.
The sites in the millions basically do not have any traffic. Newly registered sites get into that range from a few random search engine hits even before they have any real content.
