The Viewpointr Blog

This is where we post about new features and exciting developments on Viewpointr.

Re-Launching Viewpointr

 

A couple of months ago we rolled out what some may call a "half-baked product". This was in an attempt to get as much feedback as possible regarding our idea. As a result of your feedback, we've decided to pivot and emphasize Viewpointr the way it should have always been emphasized -- helping others... friends helping friends... PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE! 

Our mission for some time now has been to create a community where people help people. Previously it never fully come together, until now.

As it stands our users want to help each other out, whether or not they are close friends, friends-of-friends, online friends, people we know, people we don't know, online acquaintances or new potential friends. They simply want to help and get help from a community at large. This is what the new Viewpointr will achieve. We believe in community and so do you.

So, over the next few weeks, we will be working on releasing a new interface, which will give you the easiest and simplest way to get help and give help. We know this is a bold statement, but we truly believe in this vision and have already received some positive initial feedback. Until we are finished, please note that there will be virtually no activity on the current site. Once we're ready to release, you will be the first to know.

We appreciate your patience with us. We are extremely excited about what's to come very soon.

If you're interested, drop your email here and we'll inform you when we re-launch.

Stay tuned on Twitter and Facebook.

Cheers,
Andre
Co-founder of Viewpointr

New Splash Page

As a result of your feedback, we have revised our splash page to better communicate the value proposition behind Viewpointr. 


We have essentially boiled it down to one simple question that I'm sure you have asked your friends time and time again -- "Can you point me to (a certain type of person)?" 

Here is our new splash page:

Hope you guys like it. For those of you who haven't tried it out yet, sign up at here to get an invite.

Viewpointr's Email Notifications

Recently, we received a spam complaint regarding the email notifications we send from our system and we just wanted to explain the meaning behind them.

The nature of Viewpointr is for users to ask questions and invite their friends to help direct those questions to their friends who can answer it. At this stage, most of our user's friends are not users of Viewpointr yet. Therefore, the only way that a user's friend receives their question is to point it through email.

The user asking the question triggers an email notification from our system to the user's friend. These emails are not spam. A user has essentially invited friends and we send an email notification that notifies their friend.

So, if you receive an email from Viewpointr with any of the following subjects containing a friend's name, please do not send to spam.

Your friend is a user of Viewpointr and is simply asking you a question through our system.

We have no intention of spamming people. Our only intention is to help facilitate communication with people who are outside of one's network in order to get the viewpoints they're looking for.
