Yeah it is a great editor for Javascript at least.
svillafe··on Vint- The first broadcast social network has like button
We launched today, the like button for the messages. Furthermore the user can follow the facebook page and discover the top message of the day...

It's true that it might get crowded. In that case we plan to add more streams, but keep the original global stream. So if you want to spread your message globally, there is a place to do it, and if you want to spread your message locally, you have your place too. Also, new slots are opened every day, which gives you a new chance to get a slot.

If you have an iPhone you are in the group of people who can afford to pay a dollar. I'm sorry to hear you think it's shady, would you care to explain why?

@RMarcus Thanks for your feedback, that's a very good idea, but an entirely different app. Vint tries to maximize the audience of each post by showing everyone the same 20 messages.

Exactly right. If we increase the number of messages per day, less people will read each message. We do curate each message manually. (It's only twenty of them)

We launched today (3 hours ago). We will get back to you with numbers at the end of the week.

We have already thought about different strategies to make more money. Mainly different streams for different subjects or locations

If that does happen (and we hope it will) we are planning on having different streams for different subjects or locations.

Growing by the minute.

20 messages is the sweet spot between to much and to little for users to leave. But the real reason for the limit in the messages is to maximize the audience. In Vint, there are only twenty messages per day. The same messages everyone sees.

Hi Glenda, What do you mean when you say "the copy on your web site"?
svillafe··on Vint – A new message broadcast app
Yes, we are working on a daily analytics email for the poster of the message.

If EVERYONE wants to say something, yes. But we doubt that will happen.

After the first 20 post requests for a specific date no more request are accepted. From the app there is a seven day time window where you can choose the date that you want.

The difference is that in Vint you have the chance to post your message to a selected date, and you don't have to win the chance to post in a lottery. Here anyone can post.

Yes there is curation and 4 rules to be followed if you want to publish a message
svillafe··on Vint – A new message broadcast app
No it is not. We don't allow any type of advertisements in Vint. There are 4 rules that you have to follow to publish in Vint: * No offensive content. * No adult content. * No advertisements. * English only (We are currently implementing other languages)

Thanks for your feedback.

We think that everyone has the right to speak their minds. Vint is the place to share your opinions or stories on any subject. Before Vint if you were not a massive brand or have no power, there wasn't a method to reach a wide audience.
