RiteTag began with the world's first real-time hashtag grading system which aids users in modifying their hashtags to nail the ones most likely to get their tweets discovered by topic-opted-in audiences. We continue to expand features to aid RiteTaggers with total social media optimization: post/update/upload/tweet length & style suggestions, metadata, hashtags, images-from-words, and we do it right where they craft their posts.

Apprentice.at – Apprenticeships, not internships 11 years ago

And we don't need to. I did two unpaid internships. FOr the first, I had to pay Penn State for the credits and CBS didn't pay interns - because they don't need to. I did the second at age 43 - and I learned what I needed to before starting up (RiteTag). A waste? Not for me. - Saul

Not insane. For our unpaid mobile iOS development internship, we only consider applicants who can show what they've built with Ob-C and Swift. Some balk, but with 3.5 years of experience, we know how much we give back - and what we can expect of our interns.

FWIW, founder here, and let me offer you a personal tour. I'd be happy to screen-share, show you my own RiteTag account, my stats, what I do with RiteTag and hashtags in general. I'm sure our team would benefit from your thoughts. Thanks, in advance.

Founder, here. Few ask for bitcoin for payment, but the bigger truth is that when we need to show investors that people see value, we actually can't risk being told "right. people paid you with something that cost them nada to acquire." This is not my stance on bitcoin, but we do need to respect the big wigs' decision-leading standpoints.

Sure, it's a turn-off. However, people are learning that APIs and social network auth policies confine devs; it's a neccasary evil. We're blessed by a plethora of press that evidences people overlooking the Twitter auth thing and signing up nevertheless.

Okay, when people want to be #ironic or don't care about reaching beyond their followers, we probably don't have much for them. Still, if they want to track hashtags associated with a topic, product, event, brand or hashtag they know, our Alerts are a must.

But for those actually making money or waves in Twitter, people actually want to stop guessing, and go with our grading.

Founder of RiteTag here, and always available @osakasaul in Twitter (Saul Fleischman). FWIW, in regards to 7K users not being a high number, it took us 25 months to get to 7K users. Many signed up well over a year ago. Asking them all to remove permission in Twitter settings and then auth in again, we'd lose so many people who are not used to going into Twitter settings, and would simply go away. But thank you very much for the feedback - and also, a worthwhile opinion on the problem with Twitter permissions.
