So What Is This
Hipster Thing!?
www.useHipster.com ‘s purpose is finally revealed
and this is why I think it is great!
On March 10th, www.useHipster.com sent out an email
to those who initially signed up for the site to participate
in it’s launch, specially catered to SXSW.
But I was wrong! (Surprisingly
enough) It is a Q&A site and
as Mashable has reported,
VERY trendy. Did you expect
anything less?
I always figured this
site would be a daily
deals type site for
the hipster kind.
Login using Facebook –
easiest way to start! This way
you will have friends and a
photo in one click.
HOME PAGE
We all have a community!
Right now it is predetermined
as SXSW, but I predict this will
be your city once it really
launches.
Connect your
accounts with
the site for
ultimate hipster
integration.
Some great
features come
in the details!
Location based
posts – Google
map included
Stats and
recommendations
“Follow” a question to
get updates on answers.
QUESTION PAGE
There is a location
targeting element
mixed in!
Follow a
Location!
Easy to target
your questions
Look out for
the experts! (a new bragging right)
LOCATION PAGE
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT PAGE
The options on what you
can “follow” are what make
the site involved and more
community focused.
I’m pretty sure
these are the 6
people that work
at usehispter.com
and the site auto-
adds them to your
account but still,
they ask and
answer great
questions!
There is always
something going on and
questions post often. You
can waste time in it,
easily. For proof ppl like to waste time #seeyoutube
Hipster or not, this site has
potential! Building an
online community around
your actually community is
amazing!
The site is fun
and navigates
well! Patch, 4Square all
show we want our
online to zero in
on our local
bubble.
I can see the “Expect” title
holding the same power
as the Mayor badge
(for good or for bad)…and I can see
Neighborhood and
Category following
options really being
important to fans.
This error page is pretty
funny the first 3 times,
but after 4th or 5th it gets
ANNOYING!
Needless to say there are a
few hiccups – mostly with
connecting accounts and
managing some of the
follows.
