Interview with Ideatin.com on Sociaholic
my recent interview with Ideatin.com on sociaholic.
Excerpt from http://ideatin.com/2010/05/ideatin-episode-2-sociaholic/:
What is Sociaholic?
A cool way to update your Facebook profile using Twitter.
To develop the video:
- Took one Friday night
- Used: iShowU, Flash CS4 (Trial Version), iMovie
- Stock Music from iStockPhoto – Searched for keyword “happy” for $39.
Total Cost for Video = $70.
Infrastructure:
- Slicehost
- Amazon EC2 (for managing larger than usual message queues)
Biggest Technical Problem:
- Developing a parser to convert the twitter post, to Facebook friendly content (including properly formatting images, videos, links, etc.)
Traffic:
- Initial Launch: ~1 – 5 Signups/Day
- Post-Video: ~20 Signups/Day
- Total Registered To Date: 400
