Introducing “QuickScrib” – My Latest Creation

December 15th, 2009 | 8 comments

About 6 months ago I was driving down the road in Greenwood, IN as I came up on a traffic light. The light had just turned yellow
and I was at that spot to where I could either slam on my brakes in order to stop for it, or just go through it while it’s yellow.

I decided to go through the yellow light. Well, there was a guy in an SUV coming from the other way in the other lane who wanted
to turn left, crossing my lane, but he was stuck in the middle of the intersection and his light was red.

He saw other cars beside me slowing down to stop, so he started to turn. We both slammed on our brakes to avoid a collision. Well, there was a cop behind him and he pulls me over!

So I ran a yellow light (perfectly LEGAL) this other guy runs a red light nearly causing an accident IN FRONT OF the cop (ILLEGAL)
and I get a ticket. WHAT??? That really happened and I wanted to tell EVERYONE I knew about it!

Let’s consider my options.

1. I could call people, but I don’t have everyone’s phone number and of those I do have many were working etc. I would also have
to tell the story over and over and over and over again.

2. I could tweet about it on twitter, but I’m limited to 140 characters and if that’s not enough, not even half of the people
I know are on Twitter.

3. I could post about it on Facebook, but once again, I’m limited to 420 characters, not nearly enough to tell my story, and not
everyone I know is on their either.

4. I could write an email, but I don’t have everyone’s email either and is this really something you would email people about? I mean,
some people, yeah, but not everyone.

5. I could write a blog post, but I don’t have a blog that this story would fit in with. (The average person doesn’t have a blog
either.)

I needed a solution that would allow me to tell my story ONCE and share it with everyone on Facebook, Twitter, via email, via
Telephone etc… to combine my audience in a way. But I couldn’t find a solution. I searched everywhere, nothing!

So I created the solution! It’s called QuickScrib!

http://www.QuickScrib.com/

QuickScrib is quite simply an online, sharable notepad. You just go to the site, enter a title for your “Scrib” enter the text and
click “Scrib it” and it will create a custom URL for you.

You then have the option to share your scrib on Twitter, Facebook or via email. Or you can just take your URL and share it any way
you want.

This is NOT an Internet Marketing tool and the Spam filter is always being tweaked! I do allow links, but they are all nofollowed, which means they will not offer any form of SEO benefits.

This is a great way to share a story, recipe, joke, instructions or anything else you can think of. I’m excited to launch this site and I hope you get some good use out of it. Be sure to bookmark it for future use and tell all of your friends

Pretty good stuff Josh

This will be more than useful for when you want to show other people php code, or computer errors etc. Great for chatrooms too.

Here’s my test:

This service sounds awesome! Looking forward to using it. It’s like pastebin in concept. You know instead of putting the code in the forums, you just supply the link. Do you also have the option to retain the post or delete it after some time, or does it get saved forever always?

Josh congratulations on launching QuickScrib.

I like the idea of using it to spread the word about really great services whether that be at the local cafe, a particular restaurant or even about a good deed someone did.

Of course it would be a quick way to warn others of the opposite too!

QuickScrib could be like a ‘breaking news’ desk for ‘the people’!

There are a lot of possible uses. I like it!

It’s like a mini blog without the advertising.
What a refreshing idea Josh.
