Ask YC: Sharing everything in our startup via a videocast - what do you think of our approach? (endorseyou.com)

I prefer reading over watching as I can cover the same amount of material in a shorter amount of time, and it's easier to skim through so I can figure out if I even want to spend the time on that particular topic to begin with. I understand the idea behind wanting to do something other than a blog, since every company has one these days, but video isn't the right answer for me.


Interesting idea, but a couple thoughts. I understand the desire to be transparent, but be careful what you share.

Also, condense everything into a shorter video. This first video could have accomplished the same thing in about half the time. I don't have time to watch 10 minute videos (unless they're really interesting/captivating), but could probably watch 3 minute videos. Maybe try writing out a script rather than rambling off the top of your head.


Timing makes sense. Thanks. I am not I want to hold too much back on the startup though, I'd like to share as much as possible, we'll see.


I agree. The video is a lil too long!!
