Sending Out Private Beta Invites Soon
Things are looking good as we are getting a few new invite requests from remarkable people each day who want to join our private beta community. Our goal is to hit at least 200 individuals by the week of December 14th so that we can send out a first batch of invites to everyone on the list. From then after for every 200-300 invite requests we get we will issue a new block of invites. We considered sending out new invites every day, but to us it makes more sense to build and add to the community a couple hundred individuals at a time. If it gets to the point where we are seeing 200 new invite requests/day then we will need to work extra hard to successfully scale up the community.
During the next couple weeks leading up to this momentous invite distribution event we are developing a few new features that we feel fit well into the core of Spidvid’s platform. Going forward after our video production community will heavily determine what new developments we do, how to make the usability experience as easy as possible, and how to grow this social movement across the world.
Our exclusive distribution partner for the private beta is UnleashVideo, and with that comes the need of customization. So as the sneak peak prototype image (below) shows, a major redesign/layout is well underway to accommodate video content from Spidvid’s production community. The most unique aspects are showing each team member who was part of the video production project, showing where the members are located geographically across the planet (via Google Maps), and the open ability to interact with videos through Facebook Connect and Disqus.
If you have already provided your email address to us for private beta access thanks for doing so, if not why not head over to Spidvid right now to click on the side ‘join our video production community’ button and reserve your spot as an early Spidvid adopter.
