37signals Is Selling Sortfolio. What Happened (opens in new tab)

Or at least include a transcript at the bottom so people can parse out the useful info without sitting through the video or trying to skip through and (likely) skipping right past the relevant nuggets.

Mixergy also has audio versions of their shows - we stream it over the office sound system every morning...

With HTML5, it is possible to speed up the playback, which can make video tolerable. Unfortunatly, the wistia player is flash only. Once you get used to hearing pitch corrected audio at 1.5x-2x, watching videos can be tolerable.

I remember a couple of months back when someone posted this (tweetperview) as their new startup and everyone agreed it was a terrible idea, then they added the "no thanks" part. Still sucks, but you used to have to tweet.

Agreed, and I saw the "No thanks, just show me the video" message too. This is still annoying.

At times there is also a large popup nag to sign up for the newsletter or something like that on the site (I was already signed up because I like the content btw)

I really like what Andrew does and I feel like these kinds of aggressive moves might have some negative effects on the brand.

Meetup.com does similar annoying things with a nag screen to tweet about a meetup you singed up for or are attenting and there are no profile settings to make them go away so they come back whenever you switch browsers or reset safari etc.

Anyway, know your audience and stay classy please.

You probably missed the "No thanks, just show me the video".

Looks like things aren't... getting real.

I've been working on my new startup with a local designer I found on Sortfolio.

I think it's a great tool to find top quality local designers, because in general someone who's listed there is not the typical low-quality outsource design firm.

I was hired at my current job because my boss found me on Sortfolio. As far as freelance work goes, the best I've had is one near-miss.

Andrew is easy to talk to which makes it fun to open up. I think he's one of the best interviewers out there.

Agreed.

I'd love to start a discussion here about LTV! So, AFAIK:

LTV is simple: customer revenue per month * months with your company

Segmenting beyond that - it is not very possible because google analytics hides your per visitor data. If products like clicky/google analytics would dump out full data sets, this kind of software would be very easy to create.

Otherwise, you need an end-to-end solution. Meaning from visitor to customer tracking.

Does anyone know something I don't about segmenting customers LTV?
