Pro:
- The idea is sound. Value-added services like this are exploding all over the web
- The value-prop is clear
- The feature set is clearly explained
Con:
- As others have said, the pricing would work better as pennies per upload -- makes it cheap for rapid prototypers, whom are going to be a big part of this market
- Uploading via a third party raises privacy issues, even if you're not providing storage
- I suspect the market here is too small: it's the gap between people who know how to integrate your product and people who know enough to build it themselves. However, it's a big Internet and I've been wrong before about the sizes of markets (for instance, Tumblr!)
So go for it, and good luck :-)
- felixge 16y agoPricing: We are going to make things cheaper. Privacy issues: It's basically not much worse / better than using co-located servers. Market size: Since you mention Tumblr, they have actually switched to one of our competitors for video encoding recently. It's a really a very hairy problem, so any company that does not see it as a core-aspect of their business should be a potential customer. Thanks for the feedback : )!
