Rest assured, we have a real hosting plan, albeit a budget one. The real 
problem is that unfortunately/fortunately, we got mentioned on 
boingboing.net this morning, which is a fairly high traffic site.

Thanks for the concern, though!

It's super super slow. Are you hosting it on a box in your bedroom or 
something? You've got to move it to a space that can handle some 
bandwidth!

Peter,

Thanks for the question. There are two parts to our "home" page. One 
side is an "edited" front page, which we want to be able to use to 
present and highlight different content as its available. For instance, 
if suddenly there were a bunch of clips out on the Space Shuttle 
in-space repair effort, we may put together a new channel and feature 
that. The other side is the general directory of available 
feeds/videoblogs, thats not an area we have much energy to put into.

I would be most interested in being able to utilize an existing known 
trusted resource, such as Mefeedia or Vlogdir, so we that we don't just 
replicate that information to yet another place. The only need we have 
is to possibly change the format to work without our app's integrated 
browser.

Currently, from Home screen in the app we have a "find more feeds" link. 
This opens the Mefeedia directory page. From there, all you have to do 
is drag and drop RSS links into I/ON to add them.

Regards,
 Nathan

p.s.
As a side note, we're still struggling with our server. Ugh. Please be 
patient!

Thanks Nathan. Another video aggregator, somewhat like ANT. I have a
question for you that this group might be interested in. When iTunes
started doing podcasts and vlogs a few weeks ago, one of the big
complaints we had with them is that they don't have an open directory.
You can ask to be added, but they control it. The podcasters didn't
like that, and I don't like it either. How do you guys manage the
directory? Is it open? Can anyone be added to the default directory,
or do you have to copy and paste URL's to add feeds like in iTunes?
What are your plans around that?

(ps: your directory page is down)

Oh, and by the way: nice Mefeedia integration! For those who haven't
noticed: in the search tab, you can choose to search Mefeedia, which
focuses your search on videoblogs (as opposed to searching say, Yahoo,
which returns all the video on the web). 

Thanks!
Peter

Sorry, if anyone had problems accessing our site. First time, we've had 
an real load on it, and well, it get bogged down.

The link should now work: http://openvision.tv

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
