To add my twitter stream, the site wants read/write access: #Fail.<p>I don't want flavors.me (or any other aggregating service) pitching itself on twitter under my name without my control. The default should be read, not read/write.
For those who can't stand Flash, we will soon be switching to exclusively licensed @font-face web embeddable fonts, which use HTML5 instead of Flash on compatible browsers. Also, we use OAuth where possible not for the write access, but to reduce user confusion that arises from trying to figure out usernames/passwords for authentication, particularly Flickr and other Yahoo properties.
There are few effective business models where the initial customer choices are 'register' or 'wait for a video to download'. Especially if the latter boils down to a slower version of the former with a catchy tune.
I think they should focus on showcasing the directory more than the video itself since it really does a better job at showing you the possibilities.<p><a href="http://flavors.me/directory" rel="nofollow">http://flavors.me/directory</a><p>I really like the looks of these pages, although it seems to me it all boils down to how clever you are designing your background image.
I had chatted with one of the guys at HiiDef a few weeks ago, apparently they are in hire mode and prefer east coasters: <a href="http://jobs.hiidef.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jobs.hiidef.com/</a>
Gorgeous.<p>Now how do I find out what it is without watching a video or giving out my email address?<p><continues listening to ipod in office>
Very similar to a service I did a while back ( card.ly ) but in the opposite direction- Big vs small- I love it :)<p>Its amazing how easy they make it for your pages to feel sexy. Not sure why they want read/write for twitter access. We do all the stream stuff without the need for any of that.
I really like the front page's simplicity<p>I signed up about two months ago. I was pretty disappointed because I thought the purpose was to list all your online activities, tweets, facebook updates, blog entries, flickr photos, youtube favorites in one stream. But instead it allows you to create a button to each one and customize the layout a little bit...<p>Anyways, it was a bit of a disappointment. But here's my flavors.me: <a href="http://flavors.me/arnorhs" rel="nofollow">http://flavors.me/arnorhs</a>
I really like my flavors.me page; so much so that I redirected steveklabnik.com to it. I had gone through several iterations of designs before, but I'm not a desiger, so they always looked like crap. The ten minutes I spent on my flavors.me page looked approximately 10000 times better than anything I'd made previously.
This looks pretty cool. I like the simplicity of the design choices.<p>I haven't signed up yet -- wondering if you can add just plain ol' links to stuff. (edit: nope.)
