What does Drrop.com do?

In some ways, using Drrop is similar to throwing a message in a bottle to the ocean. When you use drrop, you can post messages called “drrop,” while you can see drrops from people around the world.

However, there are some differences we would like to explain here.

1. A drrop (message) only shows up one by one
When you log into Drrop, automatically you will see one drrop from someone in the world. There is a “wipe” button below the drrop. If you click “wipe,” then you will see the next drrop.

2. Once you wipe it, never again
As a rain drop hits you only once in its life time, a drrop can be encountered only once.

3. 24hours, not forever
At this time, a drrop will be invisible in 24 hours after it is posted. After 24 hours, people will not be able to see your drrop, unless they have saved or replied to the drrop. In this way, we keep the drrops always fresh and up-to-date.
*Note: This function is disabled for now. Once we finishes the first phase of testing, we will start running this function.

How are they different?

Drrop introduces an easier way to say “hi.”

With Drrop, you can say “hi” to people before getting to know them.

We communicate online. We often use social networking websites to communicate with friends in our networks. We, the Drrop development team, thought it seems similar to go to school / workplace and chat with classmates / co-workers.

However, in our real life, you also meet people on the way to go to school / workplace and enjoy random conversations. You may say “hi” to people passing by, or talk about the weather at a fruit stand while talking about the perfect balance of coffee & milk at a donut shop.

With Drrop, you can do just the same on the internet.

Why could Drrop.com be BIG?

Drrop is a new way to getting to know people out of your community. It can be used before communicating with people on currently-existing social networking websites.

How they plan to make money:

At this moment, we would rather leave this uncertain.

Our thoughts:

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
