Wow this looks really good. Thanks for the link.

Your vote link doesnt work.

I like #1 more. The green CTA button is really nice.

* Billing system? Though Chargify.com isn't doing a bad job.

* We hate chatting via IM and tried Highrise, it isn't for us. I guess that could be a starting point ?

Thanks to the power of mechanicalturk, I think I could pay them to transcript the videos.

That's interesting. Some people find it hard to learn by watching a screen cast. How much value do you see in these rails screencasts ?

Yes. Teaching others can definitely be a good marketing strategy. I think that Obie Fernandez made HashRocket really popular through his book, "The Rails Way"

Thanks for responding with a useful link. Unfortunately, recordMyScreen is a bit ... "slow" in terms of video quality.

I think I'll stick with screenr, it limits me to 5 minutes per video anyway!

I love the idea of turning this into a book, yet the problem with a book is that due to how fast rails moves, the actual content would eventually become outdated.

I agree, peepcode is executing their videos really well.

Thanks for the feedback. Every episode would be limited to 5 minutes.

The code would be publicly available via github.

I agree. Screencasts are really fun, especially if the lecturer isn't boring and monotone!

I'd limit every episode by 5 minutes. www.screenr.com is awesome software. I haven't found anything that fits my needs apart from it(I'm on Ubuntu)

Rails 3: Well, it's a huge shift from the previous rails version, so, yes.

Regarding sound quality, yeah, I'm using a headset.

Btw. I added you on GChat.

I agree, attention span is something that's really hard to maintain.

Front end coding: Very little, I'd use the nifty_layouts. No reason to spend time when the likelihood of you using the exact same design is very little.

In terms of editing, that's very time consuming. This raises the question, would you be willing to pay for that at a "fair price"?

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate hearing your opinion on this.

Awesome. Thank you so much buddy! :D

No offence, but the site is just ugly, you should redesign it ASAP. Seriously! The product looks pretty interesting though. Doesn't Skype more-less provide these services?

First of all, when I arrive, I have no idea What the app is for, how it helps me, etc. I suggest you add a paragraph or two explaining what it does and how to get started. But overall it's a pretty cool site. Good luck!

"...However, I have a good idea and most importantly startup capital."

Check out when he starts talking about planing. You have to watch the entire video to realize it.

Now this is awesome!!!

"Great Gatsby" by F.S.Fitzgerald. Really awesome book.

Here are two points that I've realized. I think that the ThinkGeek website is pretty well-done, I mean they're in a relevant market as you guys, so you should definitely look into their website at: http://www.thinkgeek.com/

The elements are really aligned in a logical fashion. It's pretty aggressive on the eyes when you see huge yellow boxes with the prices on the right.

The stuff that's supposed to grab my attention, doesn't. "Invest in yourself: learn by doing. Read on to learn how the NerdKits philosophy is implemented in our kits, and why other electronics kits will leave you intellectually unsatisfied." is DISTRACTED by the "Updated Thursday, December 17th, 2009:" div.

Thanks :)

I think that it'd be really cool to have email notifications when someone replies to our post/comment.

Interesting. With all due respect, I think you should redesign your site www.nerdkits.com

Thanks Patrick, glad to see BingoCardCreator doing well.
