After the events of yesterday & today on the other site, I will be here much more. I met so many wonderful people over there & I’m glad to see so many familiar “faces”here & hope to find new ones. I’m also on the waitlist for this & curious what you all have heard. https://post.news/?r=x8bSu

Home / Post.

@Mimirocah1 I've heard Post is a venture started by the founder of Waze, funded by significant VC capital.

I suspect (not sure) that it's related to a previous micropayment-for-news effort he launched last year, "Paygo."

I am interested to see that the site is mostly being promoted by media and journalism personalities with significant social media followings who are casually dropping referral links in conversations about leaving Twitter, and I'm wondering if that's a coincidence.

@IntlLawGnome @Mimirocah1 If you try signing up, you’ll find Post incentivizes people to do that, saying your position on the waiting list will improve for every referral you generate. Savvy but annoying viral marketing strategy to build “buzz.”

@antone @IntlLawGnome @Mimirocah1 But they’re also letting people in based on who they are.. oftentimes blue checks are getting in first. I have to find it, but I took a screenshot of one of the owners talking about how he gets to “pick”. I’m also on the wait list, but don’t want that to become another Twitter overlord situation.

We’ll see.

@IntlLawGnome @Lynda @Mimirocah1 No doubt, and the usual “who you know” for special treatment. I’m actually Twitter verified (blue check), so I’ll let folks here know if it seems to make any difference. Currently waiting. 🤷‍♂️
