This is awesome. I love it. It’d be sweet if the individual screens kept playing when you hit the pause button. Great job.

playngames: you should send a “business development” message to VideoBox. Click “contact us” to send, and include your contact info.

Is there anyway I could get some info about the software used to do this or who programmed it? I would be very interested in it for an ENTIRELY different use. If so, could you please contact me via my email. Thank you.

Video Flow: looks like a lot of people like it. It’s a bit much for me, similar to the new VB site. But I am very happy that you guys arent just sitting on your hands over there. Great site. My ‘Watch Later’ is growing faster than I can keep up with. And the free stuff out there cant compare. Thanks for all of this. Wish I could work there!

Awesome. The next level would be using collaborative filtering to promote videos based on users’ preferences as indicated by clicks. In other words, the more videos you click on, the more the system learns your tastes by comparing your choices against other users’. I guess you guys already do this with the rating system and the recommendations, but you’d probably gather more – and more honest – data from interactions with this Flow system. And you could always keep a totally random row at the top or bottom…just for funzies.

Seems functional, but I’m not a huge fan. Keep it simple, guys. Just keep feature parity with the major video sharing sites out there (i.e. Youtube) and make your site just as easy to use as theirs.

You don’t need to go shaking things up too much with all these radical new interfaces. We already know how we like to watch videos, porn isn’t really that different.

I applaud your efforts to innovate, but VB3 is a great example of trying to do way too much at once. Instead of mucking with the technology, focus your efforts on acquiring content, moving to HD and marketing the site. None of your current customers are leaving because of the interface, and some crazy new interface isn’t going to attract more customers.

Any chance of it coming to the PlayStation?

More revolutionary than Middle Eastern youth protests. Thank you for taking porn to another level. Only one suggestion: once you click on a video it’d be nice if there was simply one button that could take you to the scene’s regular page. That way you could do all the usual stuff like search for similar scenes, tag as a favorite, and download.

Josh,

Thanks for reading and responding to our comments. It’s very cool to have an actual conversation with a co-founder on this site!

I am super-excited about Roku news. I hope the channel icon will be discrete, maybe even an optional password access code for those guys with families.
