Four Tips to get the most out of Floop

Floop is a new iPhone App that takes the mircoblogging of twitter to a whole new level.  Floop provides the social media user the ability to gauge the thoughts and opinions of the community dynamically with an opinion graph and text. I think that Floop is both a very entertaining application and a powerful social tool.  Here are the things I think you need to do to improve your Floop experience:

1.  Follow Interesting People: Social Networks are built on associating with interesting and thought provoking people. Floop provides a method to find these people by looking for Floops that you like or by finding an individual's comment on a Floop that interests you. Also just like any social network the people you follow are likely to follow you back.
2. Find interesting Floops and participate: This is not hard to do, and it is fun. The quality of your participation is probably more important than the volume of Floops you do. Comments like “yes or “no” add little value to the dialog, but quality comments improve the Floop, and get more people to follow you.
3. Create interesting Floops: There is simply no better tool out there is get real time crowdsourced feedback so use it. Test the community’s opinion on your ideas or convictions. The more thought provoking the better.
4.  Participate in the Floops of people who follow you. Floop's value is in the ability to query the community and for the community to voice its opinion on a topic.

Other than that just enjoy this great new social media application!

Floop the mobile social media opinion app has arrived

Today the app store approved the code for floop which is a mobile social media opinion app. It is now at the app store ready for you to download for free. Let your voice be heard!

Here is the blurb on the facebook page:

When a large number of starfish travel the same path, it’s called a floop. We use the same term to describe people spontaneously coming together to share their opinions on timely topics in sports, politics, fashion, culture, entertainment -- you name it.

Will Cliff Lee pitch 5 more shutouts for the Phillies this season? Are we headed for a “double-dip” recession? Is Lady Gaga’s use of a wheel chair as a stage prop offensive? Floop it and find out what people think.

Also for live events, watch as things change as the action happens. It’s the companion app for TV, sports, radio, etc.

Flooping is fast, easy and fun. Just download floop to iPhone. Touch the screen to check out existing floops or start one of your own. Weigh in by moving the dot up or down and even leave a comment or join in chat. Invite your friends!

 

I have been beta tesing Floop for a while, and it is great fun.
