"Hi!

I'm doing research about different online forums. If you could help I'd be so grateful. I've got couple of questions:

1. What's the best thing in this OpenStudy-website?
2. If you could improve OpenStudy what would you do? How to make the website easier to use or would you delete some elements that are not good?

Thanks a lot!"

Answer 3

"Thanks! We are trying to make a better version, an app. Would you be interested in trying our clickable test version of it? We could send you the test version and you could give us feedback via skype etc?
Or if the skype sounds too scray then just via email :)

The app is called Geekit and we are really trying to make it easy for students. The app is for students aged between 15-20.

Regards,
Petra"

Answer 14

Thanks! Really good ideas there. We are trying to make a better version, an app. Would you be interested in trying our clickable test version of it? We could send you the test version and you could give us feedback via skype etc?

Answer 15

We are actually competitors of openstudy. But I quess it would be a bit too difficult for you to give us feedback. But thanks for help. It's really crucial to know what we could do better in order to help students :)

Answer 16

There's no breach here. Just plain simple marketing.

Answer 17

@~ Close the question. @iGreen

Answer 18

^ why he has a question.

Answer 19

And this sounds scary. But we all know that nothing can beat OpenStudy :)

Answer 20

@TheSmartOne Yeah, sure something can. If they copy OS and get rid of all the stupid glitches.

Answer 21

What about answers.yahoo.com ? @TheSmartOne

Answer 22

They do have pretty good buddy icons. :P

Answer 23

^^^^^^^^^

And everyone wants direct answers anyway.

Answer 24

Lol

Answer 25

How come you guys got similar messages. Competition can really put OS down.

Answer 26

@confluxepic Because the person copy and pasted the message to a bunch of people..

Answer 27

Duh

Answer 28

I just hope they don't use every single idea from OpenStudy

If not, then it is just competition.

Answer 29

But it sounds like they are trying to make a better version of a study site than OpenStudy, which is just competing. They are asking questions about OpenStudy and what you can improve and all so they know what to do to make their app better than OpenStudy, i believe.

Answer 34

Is it mygeekit.com ?

Answer 36
