David, Tyler, Paul, and Vu have built something awesome that allows anyone to create. I already know people who can't stop using it. I just wonder what happens once it explodes...
- lelandbatey 14y agoThe geographic aspect of Tapin is one of the things that I like the most. It makes finding video relevant to me so much easier, and it's something I really haven't seen in other sharing contexts. I'm pretty excited for Tapin.tv
