Tell HN: Someone should build a site that sorts Mixergy videos by topics
This came up because I am trying to find some good resources on how to get my first paying customers after having recently launched.
I love Andrew's interviews, but there is so much data there that it's hard to quickly sort through.
If someone wrote a script that, say, parsed the transcript for each of the videos and sorted them into a variety of buckets.
"Getting first customers", "Sustainable Customer Acquisition", "Marketing", "Learning Programming", "Hiring", etc.
Just many different buckets and topics that might be useful to the community.
I think that would be a nice value-add, and I (for one) would definitely use it - a lot.

- marcamillion 16y agoThe issue with this is that Google lists them according to titles. But there are many videos with nice nuggets that don't appear in the title.
- staunch 16y agoI doubt any automated process would work very well. This is a good candidate for "crowdsourcing" though. Create a simple tool that "hands out" an episode and allows you to create timestamped tags. Predefine the the most important tags. Announce on HN. I'd do a couple episodes.
- marcamillion 16y agoHrmm....that's actually a great idea.
- AndrewWarner 16y agoThanks. Looks like this will be the way we do it. If you're interested in giving it a shot, email me: http://mixergy.com/contact http://mixergy.com/contact
- AndrewWarner 16y agoI keep trying new ways to do this, but so far nothing has worked. A reader offered to lead a small group of curators who will tag as many posts as they have time for in exchange for full access to everything on the site. I'm hoping that will work. I would love to tag the posts myself, but I'm obsessive about the quality of the interviews and if I take on any more work I'm worried the interviews will suffer.
- marcamillion 16y agoTag them in WP ?
