It seemed to me a pretty good hypothesis about what the future of TV would look like. Roughly Nowmov has the same relation to watching TV that Reddit does to a newspaper or magazine. The format's similar, but instead of getting what one media co chooses to pipe down the channel at you, you see a collection of smaller things from all sorts of different sources (both big media cos and individual people), and the best stuff floats to the top.
Nowmov is not very good yet at finding the best stuff, obviously, but they only just launched. You have to imagine
what it looks like when it can customize per user.
- adityakothadiya 17y agoFair enough. I totally believe that don't judge startups from where they are now, but judge them based on where they will be after few years. I just had a different experience when I met you the other day at Chirp and demoed our app. It was a 4 month app developed in the part-time, has a decent traction, and growing at decent rate, but with great potential in future. I was more interested in explaining you my vision and getting your feedback on it, but it seemed like you gave lot of emphasis on its current usefulness and didn't seem to imagine how great and useful the app would be in few months. So I was just curious, how your thought process works. But I'm glad that you seem to believe in the approach of what we potentially can achieve based on what we have achieved so far. Thanks for your reply!
