It's cool, I just don't think my Facebook friends have very good taste. "We don’t know what you like, but your friends do" isn't really true for me. I don't friend people on Facebook because of their great taste in youtube clips, I friend them because I know them in the real world where stuff like that doesn't really matter. Maybe you could add some other avenues of relevance, like connecting you to other Airfeed users' feeds directly based on similarity of videos you've posted to your own feed. I like that you pull in videos from pages I've liked, that adds a lot of relevance, nice. It's a bit slow obviously but I'll give you a pass on that. On a related note, I do have to mention that the "your videos are being fetched, please come back in a few minutes" is a bit of a showstopper. At that point I'm liable to say "screw this" and close the tab and never return. It should 1) auto-refresh when ready, and 2) give them a reason to stay, either a fun animation or a small random video from their feed they can "play now" or some instant gratification. I'm sure you know this already, in which case, good job, keep on developing. Also I agree with another commenter—no need to call everything a "startup" just because it's the hot word around here. It's a web app. Great start. |
A lot of things are behaving like this for me. When Netflix was first released here only myself and a few close friends had it, and we all have similar tastes. Now everybody seems to (go Netflix!), and so my recommendations really aren't relavent to me at all... It also didn't help that I set it up on the PS3 and my housemates watch nothing but Top Gear on it.
