Hey everyone, just wanted to post a link to a video on Magma. We have made some significant improvements to the site and its starting to catch on. In particular, we created an explainer video that outlines really well the features we have up and running so far: http://mag.ma/andrew/211919

Checking out the channels more. Good stuff. It'd be great if there were an option to make the videos in a channel auto play one after the other, like a regular playlist. The leanback watching experience is going to be hugely important and Magma is perfectly placed to take advantage of

Hey all, just wanted to drop a line here with a new project Ive been working on called Magma. Unlike Rocketboom, which is essentially a content/production studio, Magma is a video platform and Im very, very excited about it. I think it fills an obvious void in the online video space, on a

Thanks for the invite. You're right - it's a great idea and does fill an obvious void. Now my youtube surfing procrastination will be much more efficient and last much longer. I imagine that people will see its benefits immediately, and it'll take off quickly. I hope the plague of

I signed up as well; thank you for letting us know about it Andrew. My beef, having a well-loved show with longevity but not huge amounts of traditional popularity, is a way to move beyond the algorithms of popularity. Most of the video hosting sites show the most popular - which become more

Yes. The difference between viral and ephemeral popularity and a sustained lower intensity. Most of the people in this group have never been into producing the kind of videos that will get shown here, because they're about something different from the shocking/funny/gossipy X factor that

Thanks for the comments yall! The top charts part of Magma is just the popular entry point. What Im most excited by is the potential for Magma to become one of the most effective ways to find those obscure, off the beaten track videos that no one is watching except you and your friends. This

You are so right and we have IP detection on our priority list before public roll out in order to select a nationally specific version that will exclude any videos that are not available in your country. Thanks for the comment Frank! Andrew On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 5:05 PM, Frank Carver

Thanks Rupert. This is the best example of a reason why its good to keep things private while letting people use the site. I didnt even know about the limit on tags, you should be able to have a one or two character tag, I just add that to the bug fix list. Thanks again! On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at
