Vidly Teams Up With Chamillionaire
- ivankirigin 17y agoI wonder what the Seesmic crew thinks of this.
- vaksel 17y agoprobably makes them wish they were a YC company
- ivankirigin 17y agoLoic is as well connected as anyone in the valley. Or are you saying PG is known to bro down with Chamillionaire? You're not saying much...
- pg 17y agoWhen Vidly told me about this I thought Chamillionaire was the name of a startup.
- ivankirigin 17y agoThat's hilarious. But to be a startup it'd have to be http://chamillionai.re http://chamillionai.re (which is available btw).
- rooshdi 17y agoI think PG thought it was some sort of other video camera service that provided its users with a wealth of features.
- sutro 17y agoPG, you should try to integrate some hip-hop into your next presentation. But you'll need a better rap name. How about PG-Money?
- ivankirigin 17y agop g-funk
- sutro 17y ago"PG-13" was given consideration until focus group testing found the name to be lacking in street cred.
- rooshdi 17y agoor PG-G-G-G-G-UNIT!
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoseesmic has strayed away from their video product for a while. they're focused on twitter clients and such now.
- ivankirigin 17y agoThat's because their video product didn't have enough traction. It wasn't an accident, it was a choice.
- app 17y agoDidn't Viddler do this like 3 years ago?
- jimboyoungblood 17y agoobviously they failed due to the longer domain name.
- mahmud 17y agoNot so special, Chamillionaire is a web 2.0 rapper; he was at the Ad.ly launch party and he partnered with them as well.
- FreeRadical 17y agoFrom one of the comments on techcrunch, it says the video commenting is easier than the seesmic approach. Although this may be true, I think there are more fundamental issues at play: - it's quicker to type a comment than make a video comment - i once read someone say most people don't look good enough on camera to make video comments! - often commenting sections of blogs become arguements, if someone can see you, it potentially gives them more ammunition to diss you personally (e.g you're fat, short, dumb looking etc)
- danielrhodes 17y agoThese are all valid points. We are not seeking to replace text comments, only to augment and add to the conversation. Over time, I think we'll see people get more and more comfortable in front of a video camera.
