Know-How Exchange : Taglines/Names

@mgoodman Thanks for the reply. Hmm yes maybe I'm promising too much. Maybe I should rephrase from "it finds good answers", to "It helps you find good answers". Because it's more like a tool, like, a hammer helps you build a house, but ... it doesn't build the house :- )

There's no AI, instead, there's a hand coded algorithm that, based on Like votes and some other things, finds good answers & ideas. (The algorithm has one / some improvements over other Question-Answers software.)

@mgoodman

Thanks for your feedback. I've now changed to:

————————————————————————
Shape the future
=============
Create a discussion forum for your non-profit or startup, and your users.
It finds good solutions and ideas, so you can do the right things. [or "focus on the right things"?]
————————————————————————

I wonder if you feel this includes a missionary statement?

Yes most non-profits seem to _not_ use any discussion forum or chat anything like that, at least not visible via their homepages.

I agree that "improve people's lives" was maybe too vague and didn't clearly follow from the text just before.

I hope that people will think is a benefit: "It finds good solutions and ideas, so you can do the right things" (what do you think? and others here)

@ Jay Hamilton-Roth — thanks for the feedback.

> How is this better/different than software the organizations may be using?

My intention was that it's this: "It finds good answers and ideas". ...

... Maybe it's more clear if I change to:
"It finds good solutions and ideas, so you can do the right things. [or "focus on the right things"]" ?

— does this seem like a benefit? Something different from other software? hmm

> "Effective Discussions" is slightly misleading. As a minimum, this is about effective online discussions, not how to have better face-to-face discussions. And it requires participation, which means that the work is still on getting the organizations to have people join this software, actively participate in it, etc.

Interesting interpretation / reaction, thanks for telling me. What I personally mean here, with "effective discussions" is that the discussions will (hopefully) have effect, in the real world. For example, the software helps the organization find good ideas & solutions, and they proceed with actually doing those things for real. Maybe there's a better word / phrase for this, than "effective discussions". (I'm not a native speaker.)

Maybe "Find solutions and ideas, & plan better" would be a better title, hmm.
Or "plan better for the future"

Or maybe:

Plan better for the future
==================
Create a discussion forum for your non-profit or startup, and your users.
It finds good answers and ideas, for your users so they get help,
and for you, so you can do the right things.

@mgoodman Ok, then maybe like this? Now "You" are in focus rather than "It":

———
Create a discussion forum for your non-profit or startup, and your users. Where you get help with doing the right things, and your users get questions answered — because good solutions and ideas are shown first, won't get lost in the noise.
———

Maybe this is the best "tagline", this far? Or the least bad :- P

Hmm, what type of questions. I think often e.g. volunteers, or a startup's possible customers, ask questions before they join / buy. And have questions afterwards, e.g. about events in the organization, or about how to use the product they bought. Feels as if there are so many different questions, so there's not enough space to describe (?). Maybe if I focused on startups only, I could write "customer support questions", though.

In the end, I'm changing the homepage to this: """Effective discussions.
Create a discussion forum where good solutions and ideas are shown first, not lost in noise. Includes chat and blog comments features. — Brings together the best from Slack, Discourse, StackOverflow, Reddit, Disqus.""" — for now at least. I had a look at lots of similar software and ... Their taglines often go against the "rules" I think, but they're doing OK anyway so perhaps other things matter more. ... And I'll create a dedicated landing page for non-profits, e.g. https://serveraddress/for-non-profits. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
