I didn't see a link in the post to http://speakertext.com/. I checked it out, and it looks like a really useful app! Best of luck to these guys!

At first I was thinking that youtube's recent sub title mod must of been a bit of a hit to their idea, but then I saw the functionality of quoting and sharing hyper linked quotes.

That's quite a cool feature and could be handy for stopping 'mis quoting' / 'quoting out of context' being used in many media's.

Indeed. This is going to be a really useful app especially to those that have disabilities (mainly hearing impairments).

Best of luck!

I'm guessing you'll have to read the follow-up post.

I assumed it was their apartment/home base... sort of like the Bat Cave.

I would love to be able to use this for TekPub - being able to have people quote our videos and share it would be awesome marketing.

Matt,

You're still planning on moving out to Mountain View (based on your Twitter feed), right? When are you planning on doing that?
