More blogging about Nanocrowd

With post titles like The New Face of Movie Searching and Movie Recommendations by Nanocrowd, several more bloggers are writing about Nanocrowd. I was delighted to see coverage from all of these folks, as well as lots of activity on Digg, Facebook, and Twitter.

I think the most fun for me were the blogs describing how well we do with particular types of movies. One titled The Best Places To Find Theatrical Movies On Science, Math, and History talks about how teachers could use us. The post from the Bollywood Zone says "The important thing for Bollywood Fans is that this works for indian movies as well!!" Thanks for the compliments!

Ars Technica also did a thorough walk-through. Although they tried to reach me to answer some questions, I didn't get back to them in time for their deadline. I hope to be able to help them with follow-on articles.

Comments on Digg and twitter were a delight to read "Wow, movie recommendations that actually work. Crazy!" and "I doubt I will ever run out of movies to watch now!"

Thanks to all for their first look and comments. We are excited to be here!

Our first day out.

I didn't really know what to expect our first day out, but this has been fun!

High on my to-do list was reaching out to our favorite bloggers about all things web, movie, and search, like ReadWriteWeb and AltSearchEngines so that they would start to cover us. I should have known that the Internet wouldn't wait for me to get to my to-do list!

Some highlights from ReadWriteWeb are:

"It's a very quick way to generate a list of suggested movies that are sure to please....

Using the service is a breeze...

it's actually pretty surprising how choosing different nanogenres changes the resulting list dramatically

OK, before I quote the whole entry, below are the links so you can read them yourself.

Nanocrowd beta site has launched!

Today we launched the first example of our new technology at work. We collected millions of viewer comments about movies and analyzed them to understand what people think. Based solely on those comments, we rate movies, organize them, and recommend similar ones.

Have fun wandering our site, and by all means let us know what you think!
