But... how do I know it's worth the "price" before I've seen it? Or am I missing something?
If it's coming from a source you trust.
But I know that the "source I trust" hasn't watched the video yet, because they can't have, because they are forced to tweet about it before they have seen it.

#53The Tweet should contain the "title" of the video rather than saying "this is a great video"

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?
Forcing users to do something isn't always necessarily a bad thing. It depends on the use case. In general, no, I wouldn't want to tweet about a video before seeing it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a use inside of something larger.
Every time anything tries to make me like it, it has turned out to be a hoax (discovered by googling the thing not by liking it I might add).

What framework are you using for PHP?
No framework. Just hacking it all together. I'm a product/business guy who picked up PHP/MySQL and JSON to achieve a proof of concept. If there's a developer out there that wants to contribute, I'd be happy to chat.
As you continue your plunge into PHP, consider a super lightweight framework like CodeIgniter. Moving to a Model-View-Controller pattern early will turn you into a good developer a lot quicker.
