@ankitweeting Yeah, A lot could be done in that direction. i.e Businesses can shout about the deals in their region. People nearby that region are having more chances to avail those deals.
Hey all!
My name is Charlie Mullan and I am the founder of Spangle inc., the company that created Shout.
The idea behind Shout is to let users to create content that is specifically tailored to certain locations. That location can be as small as a house, your entire city, or even a city on the other side of the planet. We believed that in order to truly crowdsource location-specific content users needed to first be willing to create and share location-specific content. We do not think it is good enough to simply collect all the tweets from a certain area and and call it location-specific because there is no guarantee that content was created with those locations in mind. This is akin to collecting a persons Instagram photos and sending them to friends on snapchat. The content is technically the same medium, but is created and intended for very different audiences.
It is our hope that by giving users the creative power to define the location where content is shared, that they will in turn be able to create and share new and exciting things!
My team and I will be hanging around all day if anyone has any questions, comments or feedback! Happy Shouting!
Charlie
@misbahspeaks Sure. I'm hearing so many good things about the Shout that I want to go to some friend of mine who has iPhone, right now, and try it out.
