Scouta Agent for iTunes on Windows

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Today we made public our Scouta Agent for iTunes on Windows.

As with the Mac version, this has been planned since Graeme and I conceived the Scouta idea. We aimed to have it generate recommendations based on your behavior, rather than having to rate or bookmark items manually. Making recommendations work seamlessly with you and your devices.

If you have Windows, and use iTunes to subscribe to podcasts or videos, then you can download the new version and start receiving personal recommendations straight into iTunes, your iPod, you iPhone, or Apple TV.

Next up: cell phones and televisions :) .

All Feedback Welcome

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

It’s been a big few weeks for Scouta, with the re-design, release of the Mac iTunes Agent, and Iccarus. We’ve garnered a lot of positive attention, and ramped up membership.

However, it hasn’t stopped there. I was stoked to receive a great bit of feedback yesterday from Rob Abbott in the form of a blog post: Scouta CEO Reaches Out, Provides Support and Implements User Feedback.

Scouta not only goes above and beyond to support their users, but most importantly they listen to what their users have to say. They have also shown that they can fix an issue quickly and improve their user experience and usability in the process.

Check out the blog post for the whole context.

It’s great to have someone respond so positively. We’re really eager to get any feedback, so we’re constantly encouraging it. So, in all honesty, we don’t see it as going above and beyond, just normal practice. But still, it’s great to have someone say it :) .

Which reminds me…please provide any and all feedback to myself, or feedback@scouta.com.
