Uploading Pictures, Setting your Profile, Tag chasing

In SwapSnaps, the Paparazi Party is a screen that allows you to see what everyone’s talking about, monitor a tag that’s your favorite, and quickly snap something you think others will want to see.

Uploading Pictures

The bottom row of buttons: On mobile, the Selfie/HD button launches your camera, so you have more control and can take a higher density shot. The shot you see on the screen should be good enough for viewing by mobile.

The upload button allows you to add a snap to the stream from your device. Maybe you have a favorite image you’d like as your selfie.

Setting your Profile

Let’s make that into your profile.

  • Take a selfie or upload an image, then go to Swap Meet: Wanderers.
  • Click on My Profile and add something about yourself. Click Publish.
  • That info should appear, with a button “Pick” at the left. Click Pick, then click the shopping cart icon below your profile.

Others can now identify you by your profile.

Tag Chasing

Scroll in Latest Snaps Added (upper left) until you spot a tag. Click on that tag, and the upper right shows you all snaps tagged that way. Scroll down those snaps to find a different tag and click it, and that becomes the Display Tag.

This is designed to help with Fear Of Missing Out. At the left you see what’s being added, on the right you see the latest of what you’re most interested in, and at the bottom you get to quickly share for others anything that you wonder at, here at WonderPlace Alpha.

Welcoming Committee: Vendors First

Many attendees for WonderPlace Alpha have made more friends online than in real life (which is harder!). If we can better blend the two, we can help people have a better time. Sometimes the dance doesn’t start until the first brave couple gets out there.

As a vendor, you’re already listed in the Swap Meet:Vendors section, based on your intake form. Here are features that support you as a vendor.

But you’re also an attendee, and hopefully running around having fun and meeting new people. Here we write what users can do.

We’d like to ask you to set an example. We’ll email you a login link, as explained here. Please take a few seconds to login, post a selfie, publish info about yourself, and see if it helps draw people to your booth, or sparks any strangers to talk to you about your interests.

Thank you!

How SwapSnaps supports Vendors (Now with SELF EDIT)

  1. Directory List that includes details

2. Can include clickable email/phone/sms if you want to help people find you in the wilderness or even place a food order.

3. Planned Clickable map. It’s a big place.

4. Include snaps of your goods, of people wearing, browsing or eating your goods.

5. Your contact info persists after the event. Without handing out cards, ticket holders get a link to the event (for viewing their snaps) that includes the vendor list. Next time a gift giving time comes around,

At the top of your Yellow Hello Page, there is now a toggle to edit your entries. It is only available to the user we emailed you.

You’ll notice at the bottom, is where you can choose to put your business email, phone or SMS numbers. By default we leave these blank, which means people won’t be able to contact you. We did this because the contact info you used to sign up might be private, but now that means you have to opt-in to the listing. Even though your sms might be the same as your phone number, we provide either/both as clickable links to the ticket holders. If you only want text, no phone calls, only enable the SMS listing. Here’s how the public will see it if all three are enabled:

If you see something, snap something!

At a SwapSnaps event, everyone is both a star and a paparazzi. If you see something, snap something. Someone will enjoy that moment being captured.

It’s local, physical space social media without bots or anger.

Powered by the Swap Stream, where every snap taken by anyone streams by you. Anyone can add tags, titles and captions. Click the tag “Fae” to see every snap tagged that way. Tag yourself whenever you show up and you have a custom guide to your weekend.

Put yourself out there

Powered by the Swap Meet, list your selfie, interests, any website links, maybe even your email and texting digits. This opens your swap DMs from anyone. But what goes on at WonderPlace Alpha stays at WonderPlace Alpha.

Now find someone with similar interests, then find them in real space and make a friend.

Buy some gifts

Browse the vendors list to make sure you don’t miss that one place you can’t resist. Even after this weekend, you can place orders for whatever you argued yourself out of but keep thinking about.

Chat with some QRs

Powered by the Swap Zone, flash a QR code. Anyone who scans it joins an anonymous dissolving chat using peer to peer messaging, without sharing any deets.

Your WonderPlace ticket got you an account

You bought ticket(s) with an email address, and each ticket has a 7 digit unique id (capitalization matters). Your SwapSnaps account is a combination of those two. If your email was jim@less2do.com and your ticket code was 123abCD, your SwapSnass account and initial password are jim+123abCD@less2do.com until you log in and optionally change your password.

Don’t worry, we’ll email you a link as well.
