Re: Turntable.fm: Where Did Our Love Go?
#42I'm Canadian. When they had to cut out international traffic they lost me, and all my friends. I loved this service, so much, but unfortunately using a proxy was just too much work for a little music. Best of luck to the Turntable team. I hope Chasen comes around, the service has a lot of great potential.
I was a fan over here in Australia and the day they blocked the international users was the day they lost me forever! Now I'm hooked on http://di.fm - Notch had a live code and I think that's what turned me onto it.

Re: Turntable.fm: Where Did Our Love Go?
#43I was a big turntable user last summer. I was pretty disappointed by their interface (fixed width, terrible search, etc.). So disappointed that I built my own clone with a friend. I recently revisited the site - almost nothing has changed. There is so much potential to add more features and polish the interface. I think this might have something to do with their user decline. They had the initial hype wave but failed…
I agree with the fixed width thing. I whipped up a responsive turntable concept and sent it over to them, but heard nothing. Check it out here:

plug dj is nice. If only I could understand why the heck the stuff in the chat is being translated into my language and put a stop to that it would be awesome.

#46I found this article to be very well-written. It's not the most intellectual topic, but I do feel like I've gotten a pretty good window into the lives of the founders.
+1 great article

You can disable Chat Translation in your User Profile, and you can rollover the translated chats to see the original message if you prefer to keep it on.

We saw it Jackson. Had you sent something like that to us about our site, you would have definitely heard back from us. From everything we've heard, that's a fundamental difference between us and them. We care about our users, our community and the people who give of their own time to help make our site better out of sheer love.

Are you behind www.Plug.dj
No, but I am. I'm Steven Sacks, the CEO and founder of http://plug.dj . plug.dj is not just music, it's videos, too. Everything comes from YouTube and SoundCloud so licensing is already taken care of. We love our users. Building a community is everything we are about. We listen and we care. We are involved. plug.dj is international, and not just in name. We have localized the site into 8 languages so far and our chat…
Awesome, thanks. No more VPN :) Also great how you use youtube/soundcloud to get the content we want :) Keep it up.
Re: Turntable.fm: Where Did Our Love Go?
#50I was pretty addicted to Turntable for a solid 3 weeks last summer. Maybe 4.
Like others have mentioned, I do think one of the reasons they're flattening out is due to lack of updates, but I stopped logging in for two reasons.
One: It was _too_ engaging. I enjoyed every minute I was on it, but my productivity started to slip. Drastically. Suddenly it's 5am and I'm having a great chat and listen with some blokes from the UK. Dashing good time, but not the best way to spend a Wednesday night.
Two: It was too hard to find (or create/maintain) a room that played the kind of music I wanted to listen to. This speaks to their lack of updates more than anything else, as they could have fixed this pretty easily: index rooms on songs played and allow users to find rooms that recently played a specific song. Or three.
