This product looks very promising. This is one of those things that can in time - become huge.
The more informative the answers, and the more "up the food-chain" they are - the more people will come and ask a larger volume of questions, and in total questions of higher quality.
Best of luck,
i can totally see myself using this in order to learn.
@tesslerc It's invigorating to see that you love our product Chen, feel free if you have any ideas or suggestions to improve, we too can always learn :)
Report
@jodoron I think maybe a "trending" or "most popular" based on categories / follow based on topic and not only people.
For instance, I really like technology - any type, anywhere. I am more interested in seeing what people are asked and what they answer - on this specific topic and less interested in their opinions on economics and so on.
Also I don't really know who would be interesting and who would not (hence no idea who I should follow) - so following a topic would be easier.
@tesslerc@elyawp Thanks Chen, actually Elya asked a similar question, the answer is that we are currently working on providing a more smooth experience to follow content people want :)
I think this is a really interesting idea. I'll echo some of the concerns here though. I'm not really sure where this fits alongside things like Twitter, Quora, etc. Like, you can ask someone to answer a question on Quora already—I'd be worried this is just another place your questions could be ignored 😁
I guess my biggest concern though is that it doesn't seem like the kinda place you could ever build a relationship with someone. So say I interact with someone on Twitter, there's a chance that there could be a more meaningful conversation that leads to opportunities in the future. I'm not seeing that here.
That being said, I've spoken to @jodoron before, and seems like they're working hard on making it super awesome. So it's definitely one to watch.
@jakeapeters Thanks for the feedback Jake! Like every startup at first there will be challenges. Having said that, we rely more on the mechanism we built in yes.no. Quora is all about the questions rather than answers, you can ask a question and a thousand people would respond but not the person you care most about their answer - we tackle that issue and give it more "spotlight" in our value proposition.
Relationship building is one of the most important challenges for growth in any social network, we have a few plans ready for when we grow big enough with our audience we will implement them to enhance relationships, but it intrigues me, what would you do differently on yes.no to increase the creation and sustaining of a relationships within yes.no?
@jodoron It wouldn't be fun running a startup without the challenges 😁
I'll be interested to see how you get on with the relationship building side. Because building meaningful relationships is a massive problem for a ton of people, and not one that's really been solved yet.
Honestly I'm not sure what you could do. It just feels a little transient over there. You ask a closed question, get a closed answer. Maybe threaded answers / conversations could work—so you ask a question, get an answer, and can then publicly carry on that conversation.
I just learned about this site yesterday and played around with it for a bit. I like the format of it being ongoing. I also like that it seems most people with expertise can participate and answer questions not just the anointed ones.
Of course, the real question will come in the development of the community and having the people asking and answering questions.
A site I definitely plan on exploring a bit more.
@robertwilliger Thanks loads Rob! the ongoing part is exactly what we think could provide extra value for our users!
We realized very fast other that the "mega-celebs" there are a lot smaller scale celebs that we call "local-hero's", the purpose of yes.no's entire existence is to give a stage for any community leader or influencer to take on Q&A in a respectful manner.
Would love to have you exploring yes.no and hear your ideas and feedback also in the future :)
As long as I can ask Dan Ariely whatever I want, and have a chance to get a direct answer - this is 1000x better than Twitter, Facebook and Email alltogher.
A very hard promise to make, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they can live up to it.
Good luck yo!
@hamutsi We're glad you found some interesting people to follow and read answers of in yes.no :), What other people would you expect us to bring to keep you intrigued?
Great product!
One feature I'd like to see iד connecting social networks and following the contacts on yes.no if they're already registered.
Twitter is especially well suited for this because of the unidirectional following (and the ability to follow influencers who usually won't be on your FB friend list). Facebook and Linkedin would also be nice.
@yprez Thanks so much Yuri! and I love your suggestion, it is actually something I suggested a while ago and we are totally aiming to bring that to our users! spot on Yuri.
Looks like a cool platform!
Twitter integration would be cool (auto-follow people I follow on twitter).
Also - the "Discover" and all the suggested profiles are mostly from the entrepreneur/CEO oriented tech scene, and I wish there was a more famous Developers/Designers/People-who-actually-build stuff scene available for asking questions, otherwise it is of little use to me.
@theyonibomber Hey Yoni, thanks for the feedback! Developing such "virality-enhancing features" is definable on our roadmap. In order, not to get biased with allegadley high traffic that can make us "blind" we prefer to focus on creating real value for users in a smaller scale. When we feel like we got this and made a good-enough product we would add further traffic-enhancing features like so, but agreed it is a very important feature.
For the second part of your question: first of all, for me, hearing this feedback is the most essential part of this launch here. We care about what interesting people our users want to see, we are currently working on enhancing the amount and quality of interesting developers and designers and product people on yes.no.
We also encourage you to invite your hero's to join yes.no and start answering questions :) you can make an intro to me and I'll help them in every step of the way to creating their celeb page, welcome to reach me at jonathan@yes.no
