Your Vodpod Home: Simpler, Better

We’ve made some small changes to your Vodpod home page, in an effort to make key, core activities more accessible and apparent: to manage your collections, share your videos on your blog or Facebook or Myspace, and to get a quick overview of the key stats for your collection.

To manage your video collection (or one of your collections), just click on the link to it and you’ll see a menu of options — to customize the layout and settings of your collection, to organize your videos, to replace videos that have been removed, and more.

Under the “Share and Publish” heading, you’ll also see handy links to help you share your video collections on your blog, Facebook, Myspace, or other websites you use. You can share your collection on as many different sites as you’d like — we want to help you and your friends watch videos anywhere. (Let us know what services you’d like us to add).

Finally, you’ll see a digest of stats for your video collection (if you have more than one, you’ll see stats from your default collection). Click the “All Stats” link to see a more complete set of statistics and to learn how your collection is getting used.

Mr. Persinger on Insight

Vodpod co-founder and developer Scott Persinger has a great post on his blog about insight, programming, and the mechanics of the brain. Here’s the lede:

Occassionally I run into programming brick-walls – problems I just can’t seem to solve. My usual approach is to knuckle down and just grind away at the problem until I figure it out. Programmers like challenges, and damned if we’re gonna quit in the face of something not working!

But for a long time I’ve also known that sometimes the best solution is just to step away from your desk…
