Hey everyone: this is Jeremy, the author of the "credit suicide" blog post. I'd be glad to discuss this on this thread here, rather than on my blog, as I like the discussions that happen here. Thanks!

It is cool to still run into Playlist users even after all these years.

It was near Redding, CA. Unfortunately the monastery needed a website built for them so I spent quite a bit of time working online. I couldn't escape it. But building and maintaining a website for a few hundred users was much more relaxing then building and maintaining one for tens of millions.

I went and lived in a monastery for a little over a year. Then started something new. Couldn't stay away for long.

Yeah, this uncanny similarity is more disconcerting than the "lady parts" people see.

I get pissed when reading an article on CNN and end up clicking a few click-bait type articles or videos in the right column. It takes ALL of my self control to avoid some of these. Maybe a browser plug-in that removes all these annoying recommended things which have NOTHING to do with the article.

Let me clarify -- let the user choose what music they would want to hear. I.e. let them listen to the music on their iPhone and then have the conference call interrupt their music playback when ready. Not sure if technically feasible.

The damn hold music on freeconferencecall.com! Why can't there be a product to let you choose your own music!

Hadn't put much thought into the Actor field. Is there a big need for this? Do people care much about finding (for example) all shows for a particular actor?

I find this interesting for movies, but not much for TV. Thoughts?

It is mashed up with Guidebox to provide information on where an episode can be watched online. In addition, it has a better selection of TV artwork and episode thumbnails.

I envisioned this as "in addition to" TheTVDB to help round out their selection and provide additional API calls.
