It's cool, I just don't think my Facebook friends have very good taste. "We don’t know what you like, but your friends do" isn't really true for me. I don't friend people on Facebook because of their great taste in youtube clips, I friend them because I know them in the real world where stuff like that doesn't really matter. Maybe you could add some other avenues of relevance, like connecting you to other Airfeed use…
I agree. Sometimes I see some funny videos. At best it is random, unless they forward a video directly to me.
It's a cool project, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a start-up. How will you monetize while depending on FB? Is this currently a pain-point for people, to the point that they would pay money for it?
I guess you are right, we are not planning on profiting from this at first. Its a pain point for some, since I see lots of people scrolling through their news feed to find a video they watched before or just to kill time.

When are you planning to have a business model then? It appears the users are* the product again, as usual.
Ant, congrats on the project. I believe it is a great tool at this moment it is very far from being a startup or business. We, Turkish developers, are good at developing such tools but converting them to profitable products. Don't do any categorization/tagging feature. It won't get you 20x users. It won't make you win an award from ACM or so. Focus on the idea/problem and make really sure that you are solving an actu…
Thank alp, We would like to transform into a video collection site. So the next update will include the ability to add videos to your collection by pasting their youtube/vimeo/dailymotion link. Like I said, profitability is a not as-important at the moment before we create something that is actually being used by many people.
Sure, try to find a real use and at the time you prototyped that feature, send the link to 10 of your friends. If 3 of them return back tomorrow and after a week if 1 of them still uses it actively, then you are almost good to go.

> "We don’t know what you like, but your friends do" isn't really true for me. A lot of things are behaving like this for me. When Netflix was first released here only myself and a few close friends had it, and we all have similar tastes. Now everybody seems to (go Netflix!), and so my recommendations really aren't relavent to me at all... It also didn't help that I set it up on the PS3 and my housemates watch nothin…
I wasn't aware that Netflix used social data to influence your recommendations; I was under the impression that they were based only on your own use and ratings.
