Hi guys! I’m one of the founders of SALT with @ruddct. Thanks @adriangrant
for sharing us on PH!
For some background on SALT, our mission is to create the most seamless, fun way to remember and share great recommendations. We launched about two years ago focused purely on making it easy to bookmark and organize restaurants, bars and cafes that you love or want to try. In the last few months we’ve begun focusing on the second half of our mission, which is making it easy to share these recommendations. We believe that we all get great recommendations for places to dine at, but there was no great way to keep track of them or share them with friends. That said, SALT does NOT provide recommendations - which is one of the ways we’re different from 99% of the products in the space.
Here’s a fun blog piece on how SALT is helpful from someone in our community http://olivethepeople.com/the-sa...
We’ll be around today to answer questions. I hope you’ll check us out :)
@chrismessina thanks for the question. We can actually import you Foursquare lists if you want to move over! You just need to shoot us a link to your profile - feedback@trysalt.com.
And we do have Uber integrated into SALT via our friends at Button :)
Unlike other social-mobile-local apps, SALT is optimized for one and one thing only: saving places you plan on visiting. No cluttered interface, ads, or “4.1532 star” reviews. Just straight up places friends and I plan visiting later.
If you're like me and previously used Evernote, check them out!
@monst3rtruck@chrismessina fair question! For Foursquare their focus is providing great recommendations at the very moment you need them. Saving places and making lists isn't core to their DNA, it's an after thought. At SALT we're focused 100% on that, so we're able to go really deep and do it better than anyone else. It's similar to Instagram vs FB. Facebook did photos for a long time prior to IG, but bc Instagram focused purely on the problem of sharing great photos they built an amazing product and community.
Does that make sense?
