I love this: "Just… Why? We want to build something utterly useless, but we want it to be worthless in a particular way. Inexplicable like MTV, Twitter, Snapchat, or Yo."

@brainix very slick and I'm impressed with how seamless the transitions are between videos (pre-loading, ftw). How did you get started with Spool, Raj?

@rrhoover Thanks for the high praise! I wanted a way to get annoying songs stuck in Chris's head. That's what motivated me to build it.

What everyone said about loading is true. Loads super fast. Looks great. Love the song choices. It's great. Curious about how you guys decide what songs come up next?

@kosvke Thanks for the compliments. :-) We've developed an algorithm that computes the derivative-of-popularity-score of each video across multiple social networks. Then we use these scores to serve the videos by a weighted random distribution. The goal is to show not what's popular now, but what's *going* to be popular in the near future. And more subjectively, a good blend of music that you like, don't like, know, and don't know - to keep you clicking. As an aside, we also use these derivative-of-popularity-scores to order our autocomplete search results - so with the fewest keystrokes possible, you're likely to find the song that you're looking for.

Crazy smart team. Loved the UX the first time they showed me spool. Still early but expecting this to grow a lot. Grats on the launch Raj and Chris.

I've been using spool.tv for a few days now, and I'm just addicted to how simple and fast it is. Cant wait for Chris and/or Raj to jump on and do an AMA :).

Love that Spool.tv is finally showing up on Product Hunt! The speed of this application is freaking amazing. On my somewhat crappy connection right now, the transition between videos is instantaneous. By the way Raj, we met at the Dojo a while back. Nice seeing Dojo representation here. :)

@ericbahn Thanks, Eric. @Chrismacolor said that you had a great chat with him about 2 weeks ago at the Dojo. He relayed your sage advice to me. I'm sorry that I missed you - I'd love to buy you a cup of coffee soon!

@brainix Yeah it was great speaking with Chris. So many opportunities for Spool.tv with regard to business model. Really excited for you guys! I'll come by the Dojo again in the future, hope we catch each other then.

Feedback from a friend that I 100% agree with: "Man, if they [autoplayed the next song], I would have it on all day. There's totally a need for a web-based MTV." I'm not sure which makes sense for the default behavior, but huge +1 for moving on to the next clip automatically
