My experience with OSD, and a Message to Our Users

osd_interview_blog

Last night I had the privilege of chatting with the OSD crew regarding SneakerListing.com. As this was my first ever (public) interview, there was certainly a level of nervousness. And it was evident in my “ums” and “ya knows”. However, as the conversation went on, what I realized is that by going on to the show I was given the opportunity to feel the pulse of the community.

Here was my chance not to show off, or just take pride in what we’ve made but really listen to what sneakerheads wanted. I began telling myself that this is what Ray and I needed, the true feedback of the users. They bring up some excellent points and I will add all of those things to my todo list in the coming days and weeks. To bring something that’s valuable to the sneaker culture is not only to create something that everyone thinks is cool or simply looks pretty, but it must address the needs of our users. Otherwise, we would have failed.

Our message from day one is that this project is an evolving one, meaning it will shape and form with the needs and feedback of the users, and only then will it succeed. SneakerListing.com is not simply a website that we own, but it is an entity that belongs to the entire sneaker culture. I encourage everyone to continue giving us your suggestions so that we can live up to to your expectations in being the centralized marketplace for sneakers.

Beta Mode

SneakerListing is currently in beta testing mode. Here’s what that means: the site works, but not 100%. In the words of Facebook, there are still some kinks that we are working through. The system is not quite perfect yet, but hopefully will be in due time. We would like to ask for your help in getting us out of beta! As you begin using the site, please do not hesitate to raise your concerns or questions. If you see something wrong, please let us know. As I’ve stated since day one, the site will evolve with our user’s feedback.

There are two ways in which you can submit feedback:

1. Click on the Feedback tab at the right edge of the browser window.
2. E-mail us at feedback@sneakerlisting.com, in the subject of the e-mail, type “Beta Feedback”.

    (Please refrain from submitting site feedback on the comments sections of the listings.)

    Thanks for the help and understanding, now go on, list away! =)
