Flotsm

I think it's important to point out this is foremost a decision-making app, not simply one to gather and offer opinion (hence our tagline, Everyday Decisions, Made Better). We all have moments when we want to seek advice, second opinion, guidance, support in making a decision, from the frivolous to the serious, but we don't want to ask people we know given sensitivity and/or privacy, so Flotsm allows us to ask the web what it thinks. Results from responders are not just popularity based, they're able to be filtered to consider the influence of age, gender and proximity - these can be toggled to reveal fun and informative insights, e.g. the opinion of local younger females could be the opposite of local older females. There are lots of decision-making apps, opinion apps, but Flotsm has distinctive egalitarian ambitions to gather collective wisdom without the negative and disruptive influence of peer/celebrity/wealth, hence an incredibly powerful tool for making and assisting everyday decisions.

I started playing with Flotsm when it was in beta. What I've enjoyed most is applying the filters to different questions. Its both powerful and interesting to be able to look at anonymous answers to questions based on different characteristics of the people answering the questions (gender, age, proximity, etc). I must admit, I have not been able to put the proximity filter to the test; because today is the first day the app is available in the US. That being said, I already started asking questions to get things started. 😺

Thank you Corley! By way of background, here's a previous post on Medium that explains my thinking behind Flotsm: https://medium.com/@sgodfroy/flo... I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has!
