I've really been needing something like this. Can't wait to dive in and automate my emails.

I agree with the previous commenter that, perhaps, you could separate out "like" (to get recommendations) and "follow" (to get future updates) actions.
When I first signed up, I followed only shows that will have future episodes, but I'd love my past favourite shows to impact recommendations.
Anyone figure this out yet?
Here's a second vote for adding upcoming shows!
Fantastic business idea. Can't wait to see where this goes.
I've used the Beta for a multi-user sales pipeline. Worked wonders!
Thanks for gathering these together. "F Wall Street" looks like a great book.
The best part is at the end when he plays back all 200K Emmy tweet in 6 minutes and says "I feel like I'm narrating a horse race"! Hilarity ensued.
Using vidyard on my site and Tumblr blog. Best part is seeing the viewing analytics.
Yes! Tweet using the button on our landing page. The results from that tweet will show up on the landing page if you rank among the top 6 influencers!
Actually, we primarily look at just the clickthrough rate on the links to determine someone's influence. Influence is highly categorical.
For example, if I tweet about tech things, I'll get many clicks since most of my followers are techies. If I tweet about horses, ... not so many clicks and therefore I have a poorer influence for "horses".
Klout and # of followers abstract away these fine-grained details that, IMO, are critically important in determining social influence.
Klout scores really show more of a relational-sort of data. I actually don't place much faith in the quality of their "ranking" system, IMO.
We wanted to keep things ultra simple. Oh, and FREE!
Thanks! We're using it on our site now to see who is tweeting about the launch! Real-time results ftw!
You might be able to do it with HubSpot or PostRank, but we couldn't find anything simple. SO we built it!
It depends on how you want to charge for your web app. Check out Willet (http://www.getwillet.com).
[Full disclosure: I'm a Willet co-founder.]
Fair enough. I'll bump this to the front of the feature queue!
Yeah, most people don't see 'spare change' as 'real money', funnily enough.
We're considering allowing users to have a Willet account (ie. new user name and pw). Aren't people sick of having so many logins these days? That was part of the incentive to use FB - keep things simple!
Willet works the same way. Spend away until you reach $3 of purchases, then you enter a credit card at this point. We securely store your credit card info in our digital vault. When you reach your limit again, we'll run your credit card and email you a receipt!
That's what we're aiming to do!
Exactly! Furthermore, you can charge small amounts. Look at all of the success of the mobile app stores and in-app payments. YOU CAN DO THIS ONLINE NOW!
It's a good idea that would take quite a bit more work on our part. We'll discuss it and see what happens! Thanks!
Cofounders are here and in chat (http://getwillet.com/getstarted) ready for your questions!
It won't be free forever.
Once we know how well it works and we've ironed out any bugs, then we'll start charging. Initially we'd rather deal with people who don't trust us because we're free than people who are pissed off because we aren't free and don't work :P
Also, it was a fun project to work on - we had to learn all about the Bitcoin API and host our own daemon!
I bet your App Admin can set this up for you to allow it access. I don't know 100%, but I'd recommend checking it out.
This may take up to 5 minutes due to how the Bitcoin network is implemented. We have to wait for the correct number of confirmations to propagate through the Bitcoin network in order to be able to confirm a BTC transaction has occurred.
Wish we could do it faster, but this is as fast as it gets!
Thanks! Do they have Twitter? I'd love to chat with them about it. Looking for feedback on the project too!
Thoughts? Feedback? What do you think about the series?
I'm using it on my site http://cAPPtion.tv at the top. I like the fact that it doesn't look like an ad bar - it looks like a legit "Here are the apps I'm featuring" bar.
edit: I work with the Approcity main dev.
