RE: Just checking out d.buzz - creating my first `buzz` right now! ...

in DBuzz4 years ago

I really like the interface. It's pretty and simple!
Wonder if it would be possible to connect content from here to twitter. Like connecting my HIVE to my twitter account and pull content from the twitter API to d.buzz and the way around.

Sounds crazy right?

Sort:  

I can see unidirectional feeds. Bidirectional, in my experience, can be confusing. For example, a conversation on Twitter would be out of context on Hive. It would be somewhat spammy. The same goes for the other way around, having a conversation on Hive looking strange on Twitter.

That's actually part of our Game Plan 😄

Our original launch included being able to post Tweets to #DBuzz through an in-house verification system where users who Tweeted the hashtag #Hive, would have those Tweets cross posted to #DBuzz, but there was a lot of backlash on #Hive, so we settled for Hive-to-Twitter alone.

We settled for Hive-to-Twitter alone.

Some critics would say that you are bringing away people from Hive to Twitter.     :(

Yeah, but that's why we only made it Hive-to-Twitter, not Twitter-to-Hive.

I.e. People thought we were spamming Hive with Tweets but those same people probably view Hive-to-Twitter as promoting Hive on Twitter 👍

Well, either way, there will be critics.

Yeah 😊
