    Are "Noobs" on Snapzu to be dubbed "Whipper Snappers"?

    According to reports over at the heated, but somewhat superfluous thread going on over in /t/lounge, /u/CuppaMatt has coined the term "Whipper Snapper" or just, perhaps "whippersnapper" to refer to our new brethren.

    Not only does this obey the undeniably true principle of us all being called Snappers, but it also is an endearing term to help ease newcomers in to the new name they will be referring to themselves as when discussing how awesome Snapzu is to their friends and colleagues, many of which will be yet to try out the site. This means that many new users will be pre-conditioned to the term, which can only be beneficial to the solidarity of the community.

    All that said, it is not canonical in the same way that "Snapper" is, so it is only fair that Team Snapper debate the official nature of this term in full. I am in the "for" camp, but I am sure with the diverse and vibrant crowd we have already amassed here, there will be a range of opinions that deserve to be heard, after all, who would we be to use a term like this out of mindless gut-instinct and without full enquiry in to the alternatives? Not snappers for sure.

    So - snappers - are you for or against "Whipper Snapper" (or "whippersnapper")?

    We have officially doubled our membership in less that a day

    I'd just like to say how impressed I am with the early uptake of this campaign. I am also hearing word that our post count will have also doubled within the next few minutes. I'm glad to say - I was there, I was a part of it. Let's see how long it takes us to get to our next doubling milestone.

    Good luck Team Snapper. We're all counting on you. Both of you. Including me.

    Edit: And again! We just doubled our membership in less than an hour. Given my understanding of maths and the rule of exponential growth that means that by this time tomorrow, our membership will be somewhere in the region of 281474980000000 members making us not only the largest tribe on snapzu, but also larger than the sum of all humans that have ever lived by quite some figure.

    Detractors may say this is more likely to call in to question the principles of our forecasting, however that's quite a pessimistic attitude and I am of the belief that numbers don't lie. We shall see I guess...

    Hey, if we're snappers and some of us are from reddit...

    Does that make this sub-section of the community "red-snappers"?

    Level 10 in 4 days!

    I'd just like to thank /u/imnotgoats for my invite /u/evilshrew for accepting the invite I gave (even though you've had fuck all interaction, but you do speak nonsense most of the time, so no loss to the community) and anyone who has joined my British comedy tribe over at /t/humour

    I think it's safe to say, unless the admins do something phenomenally wrong, this is my new home. I've really enjoyed using the service, even if there are loads of little things that are annoying, the net result is something beautiful, with incredible potential.

    Oh, and we're SNAPPERS. That's what we're called. Right? Let's make snapper happen.

    Changing content type after submitting snap

    Is this a bug? I keep forgetting to change snaps from unspecified in to something more useful then find I can't do anything about it subsequently. Is everyone else experiencing this?

    [Feature] A "dismiss" button for snaps appearing on various lists

    I don't want to keep seeing the same snap I've already decided I am not interested in. It'd be great to stop that snap from showing up every time I go back to that view. Even if it was just client side via a cookie I would be happy with that. It would just make digesting the latest snaps a lot more enjoyable.

    [FEATURE] Urgent: filter search by tribe

    At the moment I can't even see if someone else has already made a suggestion to improve the search facilities. Whilst I am amused by the circular concern, I also think this is probably the biggest issue I can currently see on the site.

    I was shocked to find someone had omitted the penultimate letter from the existing tribe, so sought to put this to rights. As British humour has such a distinct style and history, I though it best that it has its own place for everyone to enjoy and d ...

    Multimedia optimized tribe views and snapzines / radd.it style video and music presentation

    One of reddit's great strengths is its API, however snapzu for better or worse is not looking to compete on this front. One fantastic use of this openness is a site you may have visited called radd.it.

    Radd.it's key feature is skimming any subreddit you post it and converting its links in to a continuous media stream. This can be taking the form of a music playlist or, for videos, something that resembles a TV channel. If you want to try it out, one of my favourites is for /r/artisanvideos.

    Given snapzu's interest in (and fantastic capability of!) making magazine type collections of snaps, wouldn't a more multimedia focused brother to this feature make incredible sense and add a great level of big-screen versatility to the user experience?
