TechCrunching Scouta
One milestone of many Internet startups is an article on TechCrunch.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, and more obviously, it’s said to send a bunch of traffic to the site. That’s obviously important when a site relies on traffic to generate things like membership.
Secondly though, in my opinion, it is important for credibility. An article on TechCrunch shows that you’re likely to be a serious Internet player.
So today’s great news is TechCrunch wrote an awesome article about us.
Our aim is to release the features they mention very shortly. With more coming hot on their heals.
(We’ve been prototyping the iTunes client they mention since well before we had a website. And it makes for a compelling feature. Graeme talks about it as a round-trip recommendation. Listen to a podcast on your iPod, or watch a video on your Apple TV, and Scouta will create a recommendation that makes the “round-trip” back to iTunes for you to watch on your Apple TV, or listen on an iPod. You don’t even have to visit the Scouta site, as it is all automatic.)
Many thanks for the great write-up Nick, and thanks for the feedback Nik and Mike!
