maybe you'd want to let people watch your video without having to tweet it. just a suggestion.
That's next on the list. It's been the #1 request so far: a "just show me the video" link. Perhaps the publisher has an option of enabling in the setup process.
The fundamental problem here is that I don't know if I want to tweet about a video before I watch it. A tweet is like an endorsement, especially when you have the extreme burden of more than 10 twitter followers (as I have) - you have a responsibility to your adoring public to ensure you fill your stream with high quality, relevant content. All jest aside, I think it's a great idea to have the ability to tweet during…
javascript:a=window.frames[0].document.getElementById('bg').src.split('/');a.pop();window.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v='+a.pop();
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not everything that asks something of users is bad for users. I think it's an awesome idea.
It's not asking something of a user, it's forcing them. If this was optional it would be asking. I think it would be great if it was optional and showed at the end of the video, why would you tweet about a video you've not yet seen?

Nobody complains about referring friends as a way to ascend pre-release invite lists (i.e. http://www.socialcam.com/ ). How is this any different?
Telling me to bother my friends before I can watch a video that I can get w/ a quick Google search or view-source is another matter.
(That said, nice little script you made. Pretty clever!)

If I were ever forced to tweet about a video before I watched it, I would immediately close the tab and instead send a tweet about how idiotic the video poster is for making me jump through such a ridiculous hoop. I'm not even sure how you'd take into account someone not actually having a Twitter account in the first place. I hear tell those people call themselves "normal". Edit: almost forgot... if this "service" ev…
Haha just kidding, I think this is a cool idea/experiment, it'd be interesting to see what user reactions would be. Initially I would try to have a "dismiss" button just so you can see the ratio of users who tweeted vs. dismissed to see what kind of "annoyance index" you may be looking at here. Edit: ...what kind of "annoyance index" you may be looking at by disabling the dismiss button in the future
Definitely an interesting concept.

And I might set up a separate Twitter called "ShittyVideos" Haha just kidding, I think this is a cool idea/experiment, it'd be interesting to see what user reactions would be.

It only took me a minute or two to write a javascript bookmark (i.e., paste this in as browser URL) that will bypass the tweet requirement: javascript:a=window.frames[0].document.getElementById('bg').src.split('/');a.pop();window.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v='+a.pop(); It's only been tested for the OP's site (and will only work for his particular page structure) but the point is that it could easily…
Hi guys, thanks for the response and feedback so far. A couple things: * This puts the M in MVP. By rolling it live, I hope to prove (or disprove) the general concept. * As I mentioned earlier, the next iteration will include an option for the video creator to add a 'dismiss' button to allow the viewer to bypass the tweet requirement and just play the video. * The next thing I want to test is an 'in-stream' tweet req…
What framework are you using for PHP?
