We need more school apps, something really useful. Because back in my time (3 years ago), it was difficult to ask people for their phone number just to ask them when was the next class or something else. Really interesting!

At 42 School we use Slack, it works pretty well. The only thing is that we have more than 2000 people on it, then it is not possible to upgrade our team... How is the pricing of Hive ?

So my school (well my interns' school) isn't listed. So I tap the waitlist button. It says to enter my email, which I do. "We will send you an email when your school becomes available".....how?! I never told you what school I was hoping would be listed!

@itsthisjustin it id's your school domain (me@SCHOOL.edu)

@jesusantvargas @school Ha that would make sense but they didn't do any .edu email validation or even ask specifically for my school email.

Game changer for ed-tech hipster startups. They should open up to collaborate with student startups and see how they could integrate Hive into their work IMO. Would love to be one of them haha.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the word "channels" for chat rooms? Like I get it, it's a thing now... But is it the right word for what we want to accomplish?
Jason Hitchcock
@i_am_brennan you are probably not the only one, but does it really matter?
Brennan McEachran
@jasonhitchcock Yes and no... and really no. But why teach people new terminology if you can focus their energy to learning other things? That's all... Like if they have to map the word "channel" to "team" or "friend group" or to, in this case, "Courses" then why not just help them and label it the way you want them to use it. They'll spend less energy figuring out why to use it and more energy figuring the rest of it out.

Nice try! I would've do the same experiment if I were in their situation. Hope to see them taking off once more. Good luck! 🍀

"In the meantime, mark Yik Yak down as one more company that tried to build an anonymous social network and failed." On the contrary, Yik Yak made the only anonymous platform I'd ever use. They had a killer combo with the hyper-locality and twitter-without-handles model. Hive goes for the same market but doesn't offer much that's new or unique. No Yik Yak magic in this one.
