melkisch··on Ask HN: is poutsch a good name for a web app?
We understand that "poll" as a negative connotation. In addition, we think Poutsch is a little more than social polling so we would like to avoid that word.

Thks... we'll see what we can do with pouch.com
melkisch··on Ask HN: is poutsch a good name for a web app?
The meaning behind it comes from the german word "putsch" ... a coup d'etat. But we feel that U.S. people will have a hard time with the "ou" of poutsch as well as with the "sch". Hence my question...

Change.org is really about petitioning. We focus more on opinion data
melkisch··on Ask HN: is poutsch a good name for a web app?
Yes, except that we focus only on question types that generate data (binary, multiple choice, rating, slider). We don't provide open text questions

Congrats, you have a great site. Do you intend to add social features like a follow button not only for artists but also for collectors?

I believe it helped a lot http://theartstack.com/ getting users.

melkisch··on Getting People to Use Your App
Most of the apps I had in mind when reading the article were social apps with some sort of chicken and egg problem when it comes to user adoption.

I believe that apps having a chicken and egg issue should try to break the distribution cycles they put in place. After all, Twitter started booming because Jessica Alba created an account. Although Airbnb did some great hacking, they manage to get 2 minutes on CNN with their Obama corn flakes.
