He's trying to find the balance between showing people cool new stuff they might not find otherwise, and personalizing things so everyone sees only what they'll definitely want. He wants you to be able to see what your friends are up to, and to start to personalize the experience for you based on your activity. The next step for Hoover and Product Hunt is to make the whole thing even more social. There's never been an app like this for podcasts, curating great episodes and making them this easy to find and hear. Tap on any podcast anywhere in the app, and it starts playing. Follow a collection like Hoover's "The Best of This Week in Startups" to get the greatest hits, or poke through his "My Podcasts Playlist" to get a pretty good sense of what he's listening to right now. "If all this was, was podcasts," Hoover says of the new app, "I'd be happy." In the new version, you can flip over to the Podcasts tab to see the most upvoted podcast episodes of the day-it's a little tech heavy and leans a lot on the biggest names in podcasting, but it's a perfect place to just show up and find something to listen to. With podcasts in particular, the company has a chance to be the first truly great tool for doing so. Still, it's most powerful as a find-cool-stuff engine.
PRODUCT HUNT FULL
Its community is full of makers, venture capitalists, and experts-it's the rare place where you actually should read the comments. Product Hunt is turning into a nicely-designed hybrid of Quora, Reddit, Digg, GoodReads, and more. Today, it's launching a new app for iPhone to do the same thing. A few weeks ago, the company launched a redesign of its homepage to highlight its newly broad scope.
They have live chats with interesting people in the industry, and are also curating books, games, and podcasts. What began as an email newsletter with a bunch of links has turned into a booming, expanding destination where people come to geek out over awesome new stuff.
PRODUCT HUNT HOW TO
A company gleefully shares " The story of our awesomely accidental Product Hunt launch" or " How I successfully launched Bookicious on Product Hunt, and what I learned in the process." You can read " The ultimate guide to launching on Product Hunt," and use tips on "finding your hunter" and how to comment on your page. Today, though, there's a new kingmaker in tech. It used to be The TechCrunch Effect: If you were lucky or good enough to get a TechCrunch story about your product, the spike of traffic and users created a wave you could ride for weeks-if you could keep your site up.
