Good Old Recent Videos is Back!

After the new site engine release many people asked us, how they can use new site now if they used to simply browse old site from start page looking for new videos and not using our RSS feeds. They missed old blog-like view with new videos added to the top of the main page.

Today we released new version of the site where you can use “Recent Videos” link on the top of the pages and browse all videos page by page.

If you want us to add something else to the site or change something, just ask and we’ll try to do what we can.

First User Submissions

We’re really glad to see, that our users just started posting their videos on our service. First user who submitted his (her?) videos isĀ  fets07 from Belgium. His posted videos could be found here and you can subscribe to this user submissions here.

If you want to post you own videos or videos you’ve found on the Net, just signup and use “Post New Video” link on the top bar.

Thanks to all our users for support.

Best Tech Videos 2.0 has been released!

So, we did it! New Best Tech Videos site version has been released today. Of course, it could have some issues, and we are really looking forward for your feedback on our support forums.

Let’s review main improvements we’ve made here:

  • First of all, I want to mention our first step to socialization of the BTV - all our users could signup now and get their own lists of favorited, commented and voted videos and much more - they could have their own personal RSS feeds.
  • Next cool thing we’ve prepared for you is user-generated content! You can find some great videos on the Net and share them with fellow BTV readers. At this moment our posting system works in pre-moderated mode to keep really high level of videos we post here, but later we want to delegate moderation to our most active members.
  • As I mentioned before - we have our own video rating system. All our users could vote for videos they like and then we’ll let users to decide, what videos they would like to watch based on these votes.

So, these are just small part (but most valuable) of our ideas. If you want to have a look at all of them, just sign up and start using the service - you gonna like it, we’re sure!

Thanks to all our readers, without your help this release would not happen!
