What everyone said about loading is true. Loads super fast. Looks great. Love the song choices. It's great.
Curious about how you guys decide what songs come up next?
@kosvke Thanks for the compliments. :-) We've developed an algorithm that computes the derivative-of-popularity-score of each video across multiple social networks. Then we use these scores to serve the videos by a weighted random distribution.
The goal is to show not what's popular now, but what's *going* to be popular in the near future. And more subjectively, a good blend of music that you like, don't like, know, and don't know - to keep you clicking.
As an aside, we also use these derivative-of-popularity-scores to order our autocomplete search results - so with the fewest keystrokes possible, you're likely to find the song that you're looking for.
I've been using spool.tv for a few days now, and I'm just addicted to how simple and fast it is. Cant wait for Chris and/or Raj to jump on and do an AMA :).
@brainix very slick and I'm impressed with how seamless the transitions are between videos (pre-loading, ftw). How did you get started with Spool, Raj?
