Zappl: Why Tweet For Free When You Can Zap For Money
In this video I discuss why I am so excited about Zappl and how it might be the pathway to huge growth on the steem blockchain.
240 characters versus 140 combined with similar interface for ease of use PLUS getting paid.

I'm really looking forward to trying this. Unfortunately I haven't been able to login... I keep getting errors. I hope they fix it soon; I really want to try!
I tried to log in using firefox and it didnt work.
I used opera and got in instantly.
Maybe try a different browser.
Exellent choice
I joined Zappl.. haven't figured it out yet..
#Cool video but why would I want any character limit? This seems to limit output in quality and impacts the cooperative capabilities of online communities.
@ Imagine a website like Twitter where there were no character limit and people would be able to express themselves more explicitly without looking obsessed in tweet rants,
(ie. 1/? Ive never used twitter so this is my perspective,) it would be chaos.
$ International corporations, pay/per click ad giants have invested billions over years in the Twitter community precisely because the format is most suited for profit (consumer research.)
! If the Admins had to read long posts that require the need to be thought about subjectively or even simple comprehension, it would be difficult to protect the reputations of the users with existing social branding and image investments of their own. If the marketing researchers had to scan longer posts, they would likely be unable to fully contextualize the keyword lists that identify and mark content as effectively.
% On Steem at least we have the freedom to fully express ourselves and there is no length, to my awareness, that is too long to fully encapsulate your idea if need be; Twitter has been honed on that profit circle of advertising, marketing research, and consumer investment for over a decade and developed the perfect platform on these principals. 100 more characters and Zapple.com. It may be one hundred more characters but it is still the same type of model, right?
? I think a character limiting service like this is useful to the whales but to newbies, all of the elements of that giant cycle I was just describing that powers Twitter.com are present here, but function internally, on
Zappl needs more work unfortunately. It's bug ridden and has been very frustrating to use.
That may well be true. Of course, I am cutting it some slack since it is only a week old. I think it natural to have some challenges...that is why they have updates.
Luckily I havent had any issues with it...although with only a few Zaps, I am not exactly a great indication of what goes on.
Thanks for the 411 with your experience.
