LinkedIn's early employees made a pristine product

In May this year we covered a company called AddAppt by Mrinal Desai, an early employee of LinkedIn, whose core function was the Cloud Sync Buddy Address Book, which would automatically be pushed to a friend if a user changed the phone number. However, only the information that the user manually updates on the addappt is synchronized.

Now, based on the phone address book, addappt into more social attributes-embodied in the Tapp function. In short, it is for the close person to use the text +emoji version of the read after the burn. Click the Bell icon on the Address Book card to enter the chat interface, but the information is not the full meaning of the "burn", because the two sides of the communication of the last message will be retained.

For friends and family, there are many scenes in life is actually repeated, so will also use a lot of repeated "words", in addition to the system provides those, users can customize their own high-frequency words, such as "your mother told you to go home to eat" BlaBla ... In addition, AddAppt also supports group functions, but its mass experience is more like a traditional mass sms.

In some details addappt do also good, such as the usual search for a contact, users have several clicks to communicate, in the addappt on the right to contact the user can directly Tapp friends.

Mrinal told 36 Krypton, "they're not trying to re-establish a social network, and for years, the Address Book is the most important foundation of the relationship-parents will put it on the phone books," AddAppt just want to help people take care of these relationships.

Personally feel, AddAppt is a very simple product, but to let the Chinese users accustomed to the micro-letter to pick up the simple text of the message is quite difficult, although the pace of micro-letter is very unsuitable for friends and relatives to use.
