We're on a mission to do to podcasts, what Twitter did to blogs. Break the barriers down and make it less performative so anyone able to share great voice-based story or idea can easily do so. Our MVP is up and got 100+ gists uploaded in 2 weeks, as well as the top gist having 22k+ listens. With Gist, users can catch up on different perspectives on media trends without having to scroll endlessly all day. Imagine radio with millions of channels you can curate around topics you enjoy, this is the future of social media. We believe there's a large and untapped market for audio as a social media, mainly because people have tried to use Twitter as a north star for a voice-based platform when the true north star for a platform that really works is YouTube. We've also done a lot of user research and have a backlog full of new features requested by users, that's why we're looking for advisors and angel investors to take this to the next level so please get in touch. Do check us out here: https://gist.digital, have a great day :)

@wolfofnewstreet the "YouTube Business Model" is advertising, right?

@chrismessina Yes, our core belief is that the reason why a voice based social media platform has not worked for a while because they have tried to be too much like Twitter and Facebook, and not like YouTube. YouTube rewards creators for creating great content financially, and places ads on content by default. We believe the is key to getting this to work well.

Book & Meet!

Interesting idea. It would be nice to see a better categorization of Gists, especially for search

That’s amazing Delz. I have thought we needed something like this for a long time. I’m so glad you guys are working on it. I’ve tried putting a small piece there. I would like to connect and discuss further. And perhaps even be open to give you guys a hand. I run a small soccer team in Sydney Australia😁 Feel free to give me a hoi.
