And I'm finally we will be reviewing "LinkBoost". So functionality wise, LinkBoost has built itself as a near identical copy to Lempod, which is in terms of features, which is pretty interesting. Talk about a "me too" product! Except currently LinkBoost is free, but it's got a lot of bugs! So you gotta be careful when using this and which pods you end up going into. So just to talk quickly about the LinkBoost's functionality: you can change the interval between pod engagements, like in Lempod, 20 seconds, 40 seconds, et cetera. You can see the full names of the LinkedIn pod members and manually put them in your search bar to connect, which is better than Alcapod. At this time you can see your posts performance in terms of engagements, like in Lempod. You can see who, whose profile is set to giving auto comments likes, which is nice.
Whereas in Alcapod, you can't actually see who's committing engagements within the engagement pod. The auto-commenting I have to give LinkBoost some credit here. It looks very easy to use, it would be hard to screw up. And then the posts are limited to once every 24 hours, which goes into "pod safety" for LinkBoost. So LinkBoost, as I mentioned earlier, it borrows quite a lot from Lempod. The 24 hour limit is a pretty important one. So that the pods don't get abused by inexperienced people who don't understand pod safety yet. So this is good. As I mentioned earlier, you can find your pod members pretty easy. It's not as easy as Lempod. But hey, I'm sure they're going to be making it easier soon. It isn't a beta testing at the moment, so I don't think it's in stone yet.
The next is you can choose your engagement intervals. That's a pod safety feature as much as it's functionality. They have randomization incorporated into their auto-commenting, using spintax, which is great. Alcapod was a bit late to the game with that and Lempod, (ever since I've been using Lempod,) they've always had spintax. So LinkBoost has spintax, which is great. Pods are currently small enough that it is difficult to tell the order of engagements that people give. But they will probably see this review and improve randomization order of engagement randomization in one of their next updates. Next up with LinkBoost engagement: pod quality. So engaging pod quality is very, very low. And it's not their fault, it's just, it's a free software. It's a free engagement pod software.
And my experience has been that people who don't want to pay for engagement pod software usually don't have great networks and they don't seem to care about pod safety. And they're often the people that overuse pods and abuse them and put people at risk. So LinkBoost definitely has some pod quality issues.
