Yup. Never heard of it until now, but looks pretty cool. We might be similar in one respect: We do generate conversation feeds. (for all text, audio and video psots and comments that are added to specific points along the timeline of media in our Social Player) But the fun part is they way we engage. Posts and Comments live along the timeline, they can be added by anyone, and it's a fun way for vloggers to get to know the people behind those nameless, faceless download statistics. That's it in a nutshell. We want to give each vlogger their own community, and the tools to deepen the conversation ; to turn ordinary passive listeners into active participants who discover one another and build meaningful community around the content.
