Will look into the video scrolling...that shouldn't happen at all. The US centric comment makes perfect sense as this is our target market.

It seems we need more of a call to action at the end of the video to pre-empt registration to watch the whole video. The idea of showing the difference between unregistered/members video lenghth/breakdown of topics is great and one I would like to implement. Cheers

Really appreciate your thoughts Erik. The "premuim" area makes sense - this is definitely on our roadmap. Love the idea/look of moodle will review this further. Partnering makes huge sense for quality additional content for the premium subscribers. Thank you

Thanks for your insights. Big fan of Andrew's work. Yeah the content is original and produced by us. The value-add is in the strength of the interviewees we'd like to think. Breaking out an shining in this space is definitely going to be a challenge. We are channelling all the value into the content, ondemand access on multiple platforms (mobile, boxee, apps, widgets etc), and working towards connecting the audience closer to the top CEO's of the World. Thanks again.

Hey All,

Would love to get your feedback on a site I am working on at the moment. We just launched today so expect it to have a few bugs that need ironed out still.

Thoughts on branding/UI/Site content etc very much appreicated - either positive or negative. Will take them onboard/review and implement.

(Note: smart phone goodness a couple of weeks away)

With potentially the worst meta title tag of all time "" on all news pages...they had no chance of been indexed.

Fix this and the URL structure - back in the game (dont know if that is positive for anyone though - couldn't see any value in the posts).

Thanks for all the great answers HN...inspired by NiallSmart (see comment) I created a playlist of all the music mentioned in this post - it features one track of every artist listed in the comments. Specific track was used when referenced.

spotify:user:zen53:playlist:5JtUZrhOvBV0IqySyhoDwF thanks again!
