i watch my wife's progfress through traffic on my second monitor (she sends me a glympse when she leaves the office) as she makes her way home after work.
i try to predict when she will get home by looking at at the live traffic situation and then do everything i can to finish my match before swhe gets home so i can greet her at the door with a kiss.
if i start a game after she has already left the office, i pick an early-game hero ;)
Glympse. An app to let people know where you are on a journey. And the traffic patterns so they will hopefully let you drive without distraction. Glympse
But Pornhub is great too lmao
Wow! That's crazy shit right there. I use Google Voice for conversations and send my best friend and mom a Glympse link extended to 2-4 hrs when I go out with a new guy (first 2-3 dates).
I think podcasters place too much emphasis on trying to generate interactions with their audience.
I can tell you from personal experience as a content creator, listening to my audience too much about what they wanted not only ended up confusing and burning me out, but also alienated a chunk of my audience. The reason they were and reading my work is because they liked what I had to say with the way I said it. But then I started to get advice from well-meaning people telling me how I could improve and grow, and I thought, "Alright. Let me give this a go." And it went badly, because my content became different and less useful from what it was originally.
Personally, I never went out of my way to try to cultivate more engagement because I wasn't interested in people who were lukewarm about my work influencing it. If it strikes the right chords, positive or negative, they will come to you.
There's a metric in marketing called NPS - "Net Promoter Score." I think this is a good way that podcasters could help gauge their audience, past following metrics and downloads specifically. Here's a short article on it.
Just toss out a survey on your channels with the single NPS question and a comment box like, "Do you have any further thoughts you'd like to share?" And see what people throw out there.
Personally, I just try to stay focused on creating great, useful content in whatever niche I'm working in. I like to focus on the problems and solutions that people have within that niche. That usually forms the backbone of my content development strategy.
You could have her try something like Glympse. I've used it for years. It allows you to send a link to someone where they can track where you are. The link times out after a period you specify (e.g. 1 hour). It might give here some piece of mind, ensuring that a loved one can see her when she's out riding.
It's also very useful if you break down and aren't sure exactly how to describe where you are. Just send a Glympse and the person on the other end can use that to find you. All assuming cell phone coverage, of course.
Yes and no. You can block access to certain data and if you do so in theory it won't be able to transmit that data.
When it incorporates google and other services that have full permissions it can get around it. Glympse is one of the services sygic shares data with. It's a "location powered consumer experience". App ops would not block this.
