We want to make vod:pod the best and easiest way for friends to show friends videos they’ve found on the Internet. We’ve tried to mover closer to that goal with today’s update.
It’s now much easier to invite friends, and we have made changes that make it worth your while.
When you invite friends, you can track your invitations, see who has responded — and who hasn’t.
When your frends join up we’ll create a pod for them automatically (a separate “start a pod” step is no longer necessary for our new members). And you’ll be able to track when they add video to their pod (so long as it’s public) from the new Video Inbox on your home page (see the post about the new home page for members).
You’ll want to invite friends not just to show them videos you’ve found, but the see what they turn up!
And remind the friends you invite to get the bookmark button for their browser (make sure you’ve got yours, you can get it here). When you and your friends have this magic little button, you just need to give it a click when you see a video on YouTube, MySpace, Google Video or literally hundreds of other sites to let each other know when you’ve found a cool video.
