Anyone else see this? http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/23/a-site-for-the-videos-you-dont-want-everyone-to-see/
Sorry, I mostly lurk here but I wondered if you guys had any response to this. It's not earth-shattering, but it's an idea whose time has come I think and that isn't necessarily a good thing. The user experience is pretty dreadful - you get sent an e-mail and then the link you follow demands that you log in to see the video you didn't ask for. I think it's interesting though that they're offering a way for people to share video specifically for communicating with friends with no possibility of finding a wider audience. My reaction is "yay, personal video sharing" and also "boo, no serendipitous happening upon personal videos by people you don't know". Anyone think they'd use something like this? (if it was better) OK I need to go to bed. I started replying to some of the comments in the NYT article but it got too long, so did a blog post instead. http://www.deeharvey.com/blog/2010/06/23/sharing-videos-privately/ dee
