We have a new URL that we'll be introducing soon which is better than the old URL.

Stay tuned,

what makes it "better"?

and what happened with the old URL?


Its not better. Nobody I know was excited about it. I understand he probably didn't have a choice but I would like for him to post more information in the group.

There’s not much more information he can post for the time being. There’s a workaround which, for me, and others works fine, and the new URL is going to be better. Let’s chill out eh?

It's simple to explain (so simple, I don't understand why people don't understand, frankly)... The old URL (the one that was quite similar to "google.com") led to a "spoof" site. A site that imitated a legit site. It is a sad fact that bad actors (hackers) are increasingly using spoof/fake sites to trick people into revealing personal information and/or installing malware on computers. Thus, it makes complete sense that security software, DNS, browsers, etc. would move to STOP people from accessing spoof/fake sites that imitate genuine sites. As soon as the old URL was added to the features of Inject, I figured it wouldn't take very long before the URL was blocked. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

The new URL is, hopefully, different enough from "google.com" that it won't be blocked anytime soon. Time will tell. But no matter what happens, you can always use one of the shorter alternatives (which are unlikely to be blocked because they aren't remotely close to "google.com").

The reason people don’t understand is Greg never said that. People asked why did it go and he refused to answer

Quick question. I am a new Inject user and when I type my unique URL into the search bar it brings up the fake google site but there is nothing typed into the google search. The manual says it should be prefilled with 'image of' to justify my typing during presentation. In my case nothing is there so all of my finger work has no justification if they preload google already. Is there a way for me to get that preset back? Is that due to the new URL issue? If there isn't a way to get it back, do you guys just type the URL then immediately type 'Image of' or something analogous to this to justify the thumb work before showing the screen to your audience?

Secondly when they search a term it pops up on my phone and paired smart device. However if they make a second search it does not. Should I not receive all searches? I may have a routine where I need them to think of two things and justify why they need to search them etc, but I don't seem able to do that. How can I receive consecutive searches.

Also does anyone want to share their preferred Smart Wa***? I just purchased a moderately priced one on Amazon but was curious if you guys have found success with the cheaper models.

I emailed Greg unfortunately didn't hear back. He must be busy which is understandable.

1. That is the default search text setting
2. Do you mean from the same one without going to the site again? You only get one.
3. I use the apple watch
4. Yeah that's kind of usual.

If you want the Google search box to be auto-populated with text, then YOU have to adjust your Inject settings accordingly. In the Inject settings, touch the WEB tab and then under "Default Search Text" type in the text/phrase you wish to have auto-populated in the search box.

I have owned inject for years and never used it. It seems far too complicated tbh.
Just my thoughts guys.

Yes. You change your default search text to whatever you want. Then it shows on your google.

I always feel like I’m missing most of it’s features. Admittedly due to my limited comfort level with using apps in general though.

Fixed it for you. Smile

You seem to be assuming that you need to know how to use EVERY feature of Inject to be able to use it at all. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Houdini effect, for example, is completely ready to go. Just learn that one effect (which can be done in a few minutes), learn the clock swipe (which takes a little longer but certainly is completely doable), practice a little and you are ready to go.

Inject is a delicious Apple but you don't have to eat it all at once. Start out nibbling here and there and eventually, over time, you'll get to the core. But until you get to the core, there's plenty to enjoy in those small nibbles.

Cheers Mark I will do, the advice is appreciated as it’s to good not to use I know.

Hi chuds,

To start with Inject, simply read the first page of the manual.
It's a 5 minutes read, and you'll be immediately up and running.

There are countless videos on YouTube where you can watch my patter.
Search YouTube for "inject rostami".

Let me know if you have any questions.

It is very complicated with somewhat outdated instructions but once you get it it’s very good. Send me a message if you have any specific questions.

I really don't know what's "very complicated" about typing a single URL ... because that's ALL you have to do to perform the basic effect in Inject.
The rest of it is patter, which is taught on the first page of the manual in a detailed explanation video.

If you haven't read the first page of the manual, I highly recommend it.

cheers,
Greg

My favourite was ‘Google knows what you’re thinking’ but can’t remember how to perform it now unfortunately.
