   Why does Google requiring a real name bug everyone, but not when Facebook requires it? I don't understand this outrage at all. - Eric Florenzano

   Well, since what you know is that it's all about who you know then it's really about what you know, now, isn't it? ;)

   Yep, I was at Convore, but left that company to start this one.

   Thanks for the feedback! You're not missing it, we haven't quite built browse-by-genre yet. Early users didn't mention it, but just recently we've heard this feedback from quite a few people, so it's definitely on the list.

   We cannot "remove the 10,000 copies reference" because this was an article written about us, not by us. Also, we like the way our graphs are inflecting. In the first week we pushed way less than 700/day and in the second week we pushed way

   Hmm. On the one hand I really want to spell out the steps we plan to take to turn what it is into a huge, huge business. On the other hand, I don't want to give away our strategy to potential competitors and partners. What I will say is t

    There's a decent chance that'll happen if you use the app :) http://i.imgur.com/yFPbP.png (Keep in mind that's just the people who decided to share, and to share to Twitter instead of e.g. Facebook.)

    Right now tabs work and click properly. It loads data from our HTTP API and displays it in an ugly way, and trailers do play in a basic way on the Android version. tl;dr: I'm actively working on it, but I don't want to promise a release da

    Not "apparently". A guy showed up wanting to contribute, and based on the response he got, he perceived a "foot-stomp and 'you shall not pass'." It doesn't matter whether you think you're contribution-hostile, it matters whether the guy wh

    So your assertion is that if you bumped up the CouchDB connection limit to 1,000 (believe it or not, Erlang--in addition to Node--is capable of this), then this slowdown would not have occurred?

    I wasn't able to understand what the author was trying to say under "Connection Pools"--is he suggesting that the database should be written using node.js so that, presumably, it can "scale out" and not require a connection pool?

    We're just using the embeddable player (the iframe version of it) which automatically uses Flash on the web and HTML 5 <video> on iOS http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/iframe_api_reference.htm...

    It's from 2/3 of that team. Eric and I left to start this in late May-early June and Leah is working at Convore.

    All of our trailers are actually being streamed from YouTube. We're using the YouTube API on the website to build a nice HTML5 player, and then in the app, HTML5 plays using the native player.

    Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! We're happy to answer any questions you have in this thread--ask away. We're very excited to show what we've been working on, and we can't wait (sorry) to show you all where we're headed in the futur

    The difference between my keynote and your comment is that I gave suggestions on how to fix the things I saw problems with, and I didn't belittle people by implicitly trivializing their apps in suggesting they only have "10 users". Developm

    I would be curious to see what the performance is using PyPy instead of CPython. Seems right up its alley after reading http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/07/realtime-image-processi...

    FWIW, $50 is a very small amount to spend on advertising like this. So small that I don't think you can draw too many conclusions from it.

    This is exactly how I solve everything, and it's why I'm so bad at programming on a whiteboard in interviews.

    The problem with posts like these is that they say things like "THIS IS BAD!!!!!1" without saying why.
