The Zipper is whole
different kind of app where the relationship is with
your local news and gossip, not with the people.
This opens up your available news front considerably but
it may also raise some questions. We're here and
happy to help you with any questions that come up.
Let's walk through some of the common areas we get
questions on.
Getting Started
with the Zipper
We'll have many articles to address questions regarding
how to use the Zipper and get started into the brave,
new world of Zips but there may be questions not
covered. In fact, we're sure you'll have new
twists and wrinkles on
how you use the Zipper app to
bring the rich world of local news and local gossips to
your smart app screen. Check out the Zipper News
Center, but by all means, you can email us at
team@thebigzipper.com with any additional questions.
We tried to make the actual app as easy as possible to
jump right in to. The Quick Tips and Screen walk-throughs
will help you further as well.
Questions About
Content on the Zipper
What if you disagree with something that's showing on
the Zipper or if there's inappropriate language/content.
We take this very seriously and it's right in our Terms
of Use. Ultimately, the Zipper is a community...a
local community of strangers who share local news and
local gossip as their common thread. A community
needs to have mutual respect for each other. It
doesn't mean we can't agree or that we're going to like
everything we read but there are certain lines you don't
cross. Since we're dealing with potentially
billions of messages, there's no way to police every
thing that ends up on the Zipper. We flip this on
this head and gave you the power to police what the
zipper shows. There are two ways to affect online
Zips that are readily available to you now. First,
you can use the "Thumbs" to cast your individual vote on
whether a piece of news is true or false. Enough
of the "Thumb's Down" and that message will quickly fade
into oblivion. The other way is to ReZip or post a
follow-up message to the original zip. You can
give correct information if the original Zip was
inaccurate or you can cast your judgment as to the
nature of the original Zip. Usually, it's better
to use the Thumbs for a quick way to disapprove of the
original message since a ReZip will give the original
message some buoyancy unless you have hard information
to refute the original message. These two features
will handle a lot of the nonsense that might arise but
if something violates the Terms or even the Law, let us
know right away at
team@thebigzipper.com.
We get
recommendations from our Zippers all the time and some
of them are really good! If you have improvements
you want to request for the Zipper local news and local
gossip app, please send them to us. If they're
good, we'll look at working them into the next roll out.
We're constantly trying to improve the system and make
it work the way you want it to work so by all means, we
encourage all feedback, positive or negative on how we
can make the Zipper App better. Please send these
to
team@thebigzipper.com
