This is very cool. Another video with a bit of an explanation as to why - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyOtIsnG71U.

Anyone care to mirror it for us non-US folk?
Well that was.. unexpected. Made me laugh, though! Even signed up (although it's not available in my city just yet).
So I guess your video did its job. Nice work.
On a side note - Is setNight going to be similar to MyScene App (http://itunes.apple.com/br/app/myscene-app/id454355648?mt=8)? MyScene App was launched by a pop star here in NZ but doesn't look like its gained any traction.
Cool :)
Same creator as http://tedchannel.tv (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3049681)?
Something innately eerie about this, nice work. Did you come up with the "scene" yourself or is it borrowed from somewhere?
TED talk by Sunni Brown on the same thing: http://blog.ted.com/2011/09/23/doodlers-unite-sunni-brown-on...
Agreed. Also - thoroughly entertaining & just, real. Thank you for sharing, Mark.
There's definitely a market for this, and it saddens me.
Choosing a name is supposed to be difficult. You're supposed to brainstorm for hours, bounce ideas off your friends and second guess yourself. Having to go through this pain to get to the right name adds character to the business through authenticity.
Choosing a name from a list of pre-created brands, clever or not, is a cop out.
Best of luck, though. I'm sure you'll do well.
Love the idea. Any future plans to allow login so it knows what talks I've watched?
