Blackbird Share Discussion Threads

[nick2412] 26/3/2024 09:26

The Q&A from 12.30 sets out exactly how this will evolve with add-ons coming at a pace. So the likes of chriscallen who want a flashy hyped-up launch will be disappointed and presumably haven't listened to the presentation and Sumit Rai's explanation of how the SaaS model works. You don't hype it up only for the numbers to drop off after an expensive hyped launch tails off.

The SaaS model allows for numbers to build up and eventually take off with a hockey stick-like growth curve. He knows what he is doing better than any of us, has done it before and is exactly the right person to be leading the development. They are building a community (30.33 in the presentation) and the collaboration element is a key factor as well in terms of the potential of the numbers to take off. They are following the Figma and Canva model as Sumit outlined.

Just confirmed it isn't loading in Safari.

Major problem imo.

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 09:17

And who uses safari. I thought Firefox was the big one. It's hardly difficult to download Chrome and just use it for using elevate.io , I certainly would not use Chrome for surfing the internet,

[bonio10000] 26/3/2024 09:11

I wouldn't worry, nobody other than a few shareholders and some of the early users who hang around will use it prior to a safari compatible model.

[kcowe] 26/3/2024 09:00

Don't like that one has to use google chrome to use Elevate.io .. that will turn some people off ... It has me ..

"What do people think is a likely number of paying users by 30/06?"

We haven't even had an indication as to whether there will be a SaaS model / payment gateway released by 30/06.

I don't want to criticise how they are doing this, but we must be clear that it isn't how IM described it.

I wonder whether they really want to see how the system scales in a controlled environment. They currently have c. 300 users?

I also would like to understand how beta testing new features will work. Is this the original members?

When will marketing start?

[bonio10000] 26/3/2024 08:50

Will elevate be our Waterloo?

[cottoner] 26/3/2024 08:40

How are the charts going?

Abba was No1 the last time I looked.

[pokerchips2] 26/3/2024 08:38

"We now have the chassis of a disruptive product"

"elevate.io will continue to evolve at pace"

"We will continue to iterate on elevate.io with continual updates"


so..continual updates, at pace

[bonio10000] 26/3/2024 08:31

How are the charts going?

[chriscallen] 26/3/2024 08:25

Presumably in the run up until 26/03 BIRD was in a continuing close period from the 2023 results unless the BoD thought that the news released this morning was not price sensitive?

[pokerchips2] 26/3/2024 08:17

I am with Bonio....all somewhat underwhelming , but as planned I guess

...and not the best first impression...but at least there is something out there to play with and assess

I would suspect that they dont have sufficient staff support over the Easter Weekend to deal with a large number of questions , so, they will keep is very low key until into April...when Updates will start

[cyberbub] 26/3/2024 08:05

Mr Market underwhelmed so far...

[cabi1] 26/3/2024 08:05

Cyberbub.

Good news.

Thanks.

[cabi1] 26/3/2024 07:57

Is there multiplayer functionality in this release?

As in can people collaborate.

[chriscallen] 26/3/2024 07:55

It's not simply BIRD that have the plan; it's SR/MV as well. So far they are sticking to what was set out by them mom=nths ago and I think they will continue to do so. When they release growth figures it will be done consistently and on time because that is what they do in the US.

What do people think is a likely number of paying users by 30/06?

[kcowe] 26/3/2024 07:53

they've spent 20 years getting no where regarding profit ... need a change now .

Share price action will come when it is ready. The purpose of the company is to create a product and profit from it, not to to manipulate the share price.

[cyberbub] 26/3/2024 07:46

Agreed Salmon, Horneblower found them working through the evening yesterday. There will be all hands on deck in the coming weeks IMO, to ensure that the technical development continues at a high pace. The big boys will be watching closely IMO.Yes we probably won't be getting any cashflow for some months yet it seems, but if the user numbers start going hockey stick, the share price will too. If we need to raise another few mill on the back of success at a much higher SP, no shareholders will complain!

[clocktower] 26/3/2024 07:45

Let’s now follow social media closely to see if explodes with positive messages or implodes with grips.

[hyperal] 26/3/2024 07:45

JasperTheMonkeyGod

Do tell the team directly of your suggestion.

The same with anyone else using elevate.io, any problems or suggestions, please let the team know asap.

The more user feedback received the better it is for the product.

[salmon9] 26/3/2024 07:41

This is a positive "line in the sand" start and we can be sure that it will be followed by huge determination to develop and add features at speed.
With Blackbird's technical pedigree, this is so different to a start up company launching.
This quote from yesterday's news release makes that point. "Twelve Labs and Blackbird will be showcasing the new AI Integration at The 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas, 13-17 April. To learn more about Twelve Labs’ technology and how it works with Blackbird, please visit twelvelabs.io."

They deserve our 100% support.

I assume IM saying he was a coat of paint away from putting out forecasts in the market was economical as well.

[horneblower] 26/3/2024 07:36

clocktower. Please list the bugs.
