Development is in Israel for several reasons, but mostly because the company
was founded there, our funding is mostly from there, and -- mostly -- we
have an awesome team of folks.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of activity in NYC and, like I said, I'll
be hiring a desiger/front-end developer in NYC.

Great idea!!
But why don't you have your development here? Take care of your NY buddies first :-)

So you really have all the Hollywood movies licensed?

this is serendipitous for sure- an hour ago, I tried to tag a FB friend in a note with a video embedded in it, because the movie made the cultural reference I wanted. I wish I could have gone to precsiely the right line, but i just settled for a youtube clip.

When I was at Razorfish one of the things we were telling the Hulu team was that given the way that consumers get value from making references to media, they're just leaving money on the table if you can't embed/share custom clips. I think it's one of the smarter things they've ended up doing, but it's not the focus of their efforts.

I wish the MPAA were a little less paranoid, and less worried about suing their customers- they should have launched this in 2006. Go get em!

What value does this add for the world? How exactly does this make our lives better? A new way to organize video? Wow. Tagging friends in videos for facebook is cutesy, but that's all. What value does it produce, in our lives or as a business? It's frustrating that really talented people are making applications that have no real value in the world. Instead of playing around on the net, use talent and creativity to attack critical problems in people's lives and in the world.

I'm surprised the other commenters here are so excited about this when there are people out there trying to innovate solutions to actual issues. Even more surprising is that VC money flows to such cutesy things, while funding for real challenges like energy innovation is drying up.

Thanks! I mean that -- if you keep track of it -- you'll see that we
reference scenes from movies every single day as we chat with our friends.
Keep an eye on it today...
