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.

So what does this

hipster site look

like!?

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

your questions

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!

So why do I

like this

hipster site?

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.

OK be honest,

what are the

issues with

being a hipster?

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.

Look for me on

usehipster.com!

And twitter if you like!
