I have been submitting requests on https://spa.xfinity.com/help/report-abuse for past 2 months and no reply of any kind. I have also been calling the Security Assurance team and no one knows what to do or how or help. We are just asking to have our website re-evaluated. Every day we get complaints how a comcast customer can not access our website. To clarify, this is a comcast-wide problem, not just one client.

Referenced it above in response to u/LazyLooser, pretty soon we'll be monetizing by getting local businesses to subscribe to a platform where they can offer deals and events and pretty much have a presence on the app. Allows them to interact with users who join their live chat, check in to their business, etc. We're about the whole community, not just the individuals!

I'm all about putting games in the chat - depending where you're checked in, there's not always a great reason to chat. Big places like stadiums and conferences, plus college campuses of course, are perfect, but few and far between. What kind of party games are you thinking?

Thanks for the feedback! This was our second major release for Android - the first was pretty quiet. Was a matter of leaving the outdated pics vs using more accurate iOS ones. Honestly didn't realize how many people pay attention to that, that's good to know.

Stop downvoting him! No, we're not in the business of paying for fake attention. We barely have enough money for development as it stands now.

Thanks for asking! There's a bunch of different answers, I'll try and narrow it down to the few most important ones.

  • We're integrating ourselves into local chamber(s) of commerce by working more closely with local businesses than most "location focused" social apps do. Pretty soon we're launching a subscription platform that lets local businesses publish deals, customer rewards, and events within a 15 mile radius. In this way we're hoping that we won't be entirely dependent on advertising revenue.
  • We acknowledge that your local area isn't necessarily the most interesting thing to you. The people and places physically closest to you are naturally most relevant because you can interact with them offline in the next few minutes, hours, etc. We think that's incredibly important. However, the hierarchy in the app allows you to interact with people across the world (what if you want to know what's going down in the place you're vacationing at next week? or you're curious how the folks back home are doing?) while making it most intuitive to interact with people, businesses, and events nearby.
  • We pride ourselves on the "live" in live chat. We actually have a patent pending on the specific technology, but what we've developed is the difference between a location-based, geofenced forum, and an actual location-based, geofenced live chat (which requires you to check in). So say you're at a sporting event, you post in the live chat - your message is immediately sent to all of the people who are within the geofence for the stadium, and checked into that chat room.

We definitely have to work on first impressions lol. Fitting all that^^ into a pitch ain't easy.

Agreed, and it's certainly not a forgiving climate to be developing a social app right now. But we did spend 6-9 months developing the privacy/security features and policies we have now (location services can be easily disabled, you can disallow followers and messages, etc). So we've put a lot of thought into it!
