#2I started using http://plug.dj the past few weeks and I'm liking it much more than turntable. For one, it's international and you can stream/watch YouTube videos and play SoundCloud in the room. There's also an option to import your Turntable playlist.

#3Best line of the article:
It strikes me how bizarre this is. To a SXSW audience, Turntable is already past its prime, even though during last year's conference, the product didn't yet exist.
At least they understand the issue that Turntable was too much work if you want to participate and tricky to find a room for listening.

#4I got annoyed when I got into a disagreement with a moderator and was kicked out of a room repeatedly.
I am not sure how many others had a similar experience but I just left the site after that. It made the site feel unwelcoming.

#5I'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.

"Too much work," is correct. I used turntable for about a month. It was fun. Then it became tedious.
After reading this article, I logged on. It has changed. I suppose the users are less diverse now. It is hard to quantify. When it first started the rooms were very diverse. Today(or right now), it looks like dubstep is the main genre of music.
The music snobs have left.

#7I was annoyed at the sheer length of time it took to receive a formal invitation. They built up hype way too early. By the time it was available I didn't really care anymore, I had moved on to other things out of frustration. How are you supposed to successfully launch a site in which you interact with friends but not let anyone in (at a decent rate)?

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.

I think the last time I looked at it, it required an invite. I didn't care enough to give them an email address. Or maybe it was the same as now: the front page has "login in with Facebook" and "log in with Twitter" as the only actions. I don't want to do either of those things. Just play me some music, then if I like it we'll talk about logins. Pandora got that right years ago.

#10I went to check out Turntable.fm, but it turns out I can't use it - I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, so I can't login.
I understand I'm probably in the minority - or perhaps better stated, not their target audience - but you can add me to the list of folks not using the site.
