Smell Starbucks and Philz Coffee perculating again...?

Stay tuned...

It is all about sharing...

The BaconMarathon team just launched a cool 'sharing' videos with friends feature.

Here is how it works:

Step 1. Find a video that you either totally love or you think your friend will totally love and click on the red 'Share Video With Friends' button. (pic below)

Step 2. When the new pop-up appears, type in friend(s) you'd like to share with and hit 'Send'.

Step 3. On the next screen, type in a witty comment to entice your friend to waste a little of their time watching the video and hit 'Publish'.

Step 4. A message appears on your friends wall and they are notified that you requested them to watch the video!

I have been sharing videos that I have been watching over the last month to my friends all morning. It is a total blast!

As usual, feedback is mandatory and welcome...

What are the top3Click-ers doing?

We have turned our focus on adding features that make top3Clicks more compelling.

With that in mind, with the recent significant uptick in video watching, we added a new section called 'Most recently watched videos' that when selected will display in rotation videos that are being watched by everybody.

We're diving into helping users find new videos they may have never thought of watching in the past. (Even if they are frequent YouTube users!)

Users just need to click on the Watch Videos button (in red above) to see what everyone is doing!

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Where have we been lately?

I love that title!

Over the last month we have been very focused on working on the user experience. We have been analyzing user behavior and making small tweaks, here and there, to see if users make better decisions.

One example, we noticed users were clicking on the 'Watch More Channels' button but a majority were not clicking to come back to watch the cool videos. We changed the button name a bunch of times starting with just 'submit' and ending with 'Click to Add List'. We have seen significant improvement. The tiniest of things matter in this game!

New Feature:
We also noticed a lot of users only tend to watch one video topic (i.e. Star Wars). To help give users some more ideas, we added a 'Watch Top 15 Items' button. (screen shot below)

When the user clicks on this button, a popup appears offering a list of the top 15 watched items, at that moment, from the entire top3Clicks user base.

We named it 'Got Brain Freeze?' because we want to help users that are just plain stuck trying to figure out what to watch. ;) (screen shot below)

When we took this feature live, we instantly saw a lot of people taking advantage of it.

We are so excited about this feature that we realized that this is now only the beginning of our plans for this direction of features.

So as always, stay tuned!
