I live in a country with one of the slowest Internet connections out there, I'd really rather read a 2-line paragraph description than watch a 45-sec video.
Besides, YouTube is blocked in most offices - like mine.
- guelo 16y agoIf you live in such a country do you expect free internet services to target you? At my startup a country with horrible internet is a country I do not care about, sorry but there's just too many other people to target and other things to worry about. The sense of entitlement to free services also bugs me.
- ptn 16y agoI know there's stuff out there that I won't get, like Google Voice or anything with SMS notifications, but all I asked was a 2-line description. I wonder where you got "entitlement to free services" from.
- jessep 16y agoPoint most definitely taken. We're going to put up a few descriptive paragraphs.
- citizenkeys 16y agoAnother option would be to just use vimeo instead of youtube. Or better yet, justin.tv, since they are also a yc recipient.
- cammil 16y agoI would suggest, even better would be a really well thought out picture/diagram that tells the story. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and it is far more likely it will be "read".
