Sessions

A session consists of two parts, an interview section and a question section.

The interview part has 10 interview questions with the person being hosted.The purpose of the interview is to get you familiarized with the person being hosted, and to help you begin to formulate the question you might want to ask this person. The interview part becomes accessible once a session opens.

The question section is where questions asked in a particular session reside - questions are ordered in descending order of answer requests. Answer requests are a way of showing the community's interest in a particular question; the more answer requests a question has, the more likely it is to get answered by the person being hosted.

Questions can be asked between a sessions opening date and closing date - and only one question is permitted per user. Once a question has been answered, it can't be edited or removed from a session.

How it all started

The year was 2018, the month was March and we were launching the first version of TwoCents.

We shipped that product knowing that there was a lot we didn't know and had to figure out quickly. There were so many questions surrounding the product and the market, precisely what our place was in the world, how users would accept the product, and if our first version was good enought to test our initial assumptions.

Eventually that first product gave us so many insights and helped us answer some very difficult questions. 2 eventful years later, TwoCents is re-launching with a better and more focused product - we took all we had learned, all the things users said (and didn't say) and today we believe we have the product that will provide a compelling experience for our users.

We welcome you, both old and new users to a community of people moving Africa forward - wether you're being hosted or asking a question, we believe that your two cents counts!

So start sharing and contributing today.
