15/07/07 LouderTweet Prediction on Twitter

DUBLIN, IRELAND - LouderVoice’s LouderTweets seem way more popular than the original plug-in/web-form concept. Then I guess it’s all about the data, and the entry method doesn’t matter it just needs to be continually lowered as a barrier. This is a great example of a business listening to its early adopters and shifting the goalposts and creating tools to enable their users rather try and resist & re-educate them to use what they think is best. Conor is using a great method here of riding on the buzz around another established (within techies) brand. This is all stuff Guy Kawasaki explains in The Art of Start (review soon), it’s great to see it happening up close in practice.

Also, I’m pretty pleased with my observation on Twitter that I made to Conor 10 full days before he launched LouderTweets! The funny thing is - I got the name spot on the head too!

This message has a hidden agenda. To test Skitch out. Thanks to Aiden F for the invite. Anyone want one of my invites?

Thanks for that Robin. I have you to thank for the name alright!

We had been planning it for ages (registered @review in March) but it was a few things, including your Tweet, that finally pushed me to implement.

Keep that pressure coming :-)
