I've just received rejection email from Ycombinator... :( Though I realize, how competitive it gets to get in, its not the start one expect for their product or idea...
I would appreciate if fellow community members can help point out areas of improvement in my product at,
Yes, finding relevant video is the goal but there would be lot of hit and miss in the beginning... I guess having manual quality control over the machine selected videos may add value... will keep that in mind... thanks for the comment!
Thank you all for trying joday.com and giving us valuable feedback. We have stopped our services to send emails, wall post etc. to all joday members until the next version to fix all open issues and incorporate your suggestions. Please understand, we have started working on fix.
I hope you will understand the limitations of prototype and give us a chance to improve in future.
our goal was to keep login page simple enough to keep but if its not getting the message out, its definitely not rite... something we will think about.. thanks...
no. once login there is a playlist of videos... over the time playlist becomes smarter based on your like, location, network and other trending signals on internet.... it also learns from user behavior and watch pattern...
you should see a lot more videos.. can you retry...
Currently, we post on wall for #1. when user join, as you can imagine the algorithm would not have much relevant data about user and to get user started it put random but definitely a trending/popular video. #2. when user share a video on joday by clicking share button.
brining relavant content is probably the most difficult problem and its never guaranteed to be accurate... our goal is to fail fast, learn from user behavior to serve more relevant next time...
1. One of the reason for using Facebook login was to allow user to decide what information they want to share including permission to share on user wall.
2. having said that, we will try to find a way to make it more explicit.
3. email us if you want to remove your a/c from joday.
My reasons for forcing Facebook login is to know more about my user in order to serve the relevant/personalize content. It's a chicken/egg situation... how to get around it?
It's a heavily modified Barnes–Hut for clustering, lot of coding in python... used a lil bit of Levenshtein distance too.. alto is 20% of what I want to achieve but need to know if the concept has audience.
