@rrhoover thx for that. Glad you like it 👍 Yes we often talk about it as a user generated QVC. We're big product unboxing junkies! A lot of the user testing came from my 4 year old who is a huge unboxing video addict too ;) We love the idea of being able to start your own shopping TV channel with a 15 second video. With the tagline we wanted to emphasise how you can immediately connect the video to products around you but "Create your own QVC" def sums it up 😀

@rywalker thats Ry! Really appreciate that. You just explained our vision than we ever can ;)

@ourielohayon Eekk looking into it now, thanks for the heads up! We have experienced some problems with custom keyboards in the signup flow, but things have been smooth so far with the normal apple keyboard.

@garyfung thx for that Gary. That's honestly the last thing on our mind right now, but we def take that as a compliment ;) Right now our focus is developing the product, and making our users happy. Our roadmap right now has loads on it and we're just focused on executing that! You'll see lots more over the next few weeks..

@flypostboy @garyfung can I sign up use it for Android phone HTC also can you send me a sample thanks Ross

@yachtsofideas we are only available on iPhone at the mo. But we will make sure you're one of the first to know once were on Android. In the mean time you can see some of our content creator's videos on our Twitter page!

@anthonyadams Hey Anthony, if you have an Amazon affiliate code already it's pretty simple... Just open the app to the camera view and swipe down, you will then notice a setting icon in the top right of the screen, hit that and inside settings there is a place to add your affiliate code. If you don't have a code already you can head over to Amazon and sign up for one 😃 Let us know if you have any troubles. Love the vid by the way! 🙌

@chrisknight2 nice, I'll try that. Curious what the deal is with content discovery -- will other people see our videos on the platform? Are there viewership stats we can see? P.S. I did a double take when I saw your name -- it was the one I used on my fake ID's in high school inspired by Val Kilmer's character in Real Genius.

@anthonyadams 😂 that's amazing!! I had to look up the movie, have never seen it. Right now discovery of your show is made by searching and pushing out to your existing social networks, there is also our featured section, found when swiping left and tapping the search glass. I dig your game, shoot me a mail chris@iam8.tv I think this could be cool for one of the featured shows 😃

@bentossell @chrisknight2 Awesome to be up on here. Thx @bentossell for hunting us 🙌 8TV is the easiest way for anyone to make the products around them shoppable by shooting short (15 second videos) and scanning the product's barcode to pull all the product details into the video and make it shoppable (via Amazon). We were inspired by the work we were doing making product videos for YouTubers and wanted to make it easy for anyone (not just YouTube stars) to shoot product videos right from their phone in seconds. A lot of Vloggers we work with wanted an easy way to do this and kept requesting they could add their amazon affiliate code into the videos, so we allowed that too! We're around now to answer any questions people have!

Thanks loads for the hunt @bentossell Hey everyone, I’m Chris I put together all the UI/UX for the product. The showcodes (QR) we generate are a cool way to get an instant on video experience when scanning them, right now they are working in two ways: 1. Scanning the codes from within the 8TV app from a share page, this allows users to start following shows within the app… http://iam8.tv/Sam/23f6642edf9ae...# 2. Scanning a code from within Snapchat to pull up a video created on 8TV where views can buy the product directly from within Snapchat itself. Check out the code here, it’s still just a demo but the real thing is only days away… https://twitter.com/Flypostboy/s...

@chrisknight2 @bentossell that's pretty cool, but why would you funnel users to watch video through snapchat if they can watch it directly in browser? I don't get it..

@arturkiulian @chrisknight2 @bentossell that feature is more for brands who want to create videos for their real world campaigns that exist outside Snapchat, but also want their customers to be able to see them inside Snapchat. For many Snapchatters we think Snapchat will become their default QR code reader ;)

@flypostboy @chrisknight2 @bentossell by real world you mean printed QR codes?

Hi @flypostboy love the idea. Just one question: is it more about people buying your favorite products than people buying your favorite products from you? Or maybe it's both. :)

@crystalchen thx loads for the question! We want it be all about discovering interesting products from the people you find interesting. So if you are into comics you can follow your favorite comic book makers in the app (or on Twitter etc) and they can share what they are reading through 8TV. As long as they add their affiliate code in the app you are buying from them with them receiving all the affiliate commission. Does that make sense?

@flypostboy is the idea that users would watch the videos through the 8TV app? Or would creators export video and publish on YouTube, etc... ?

@mijustin Thx! Every one of our videos has a shareable web link so all the videos are viewable directly in the browser. So many people watch our videos by clicking on the web links on Twitter or YouTube but of course if you watch them inside our app, you get a fuller experience. But we don't want our app to be a sole destination and have built it with the idea that 8TV lives all over the web

@flypostboy @mijustin can you watch use for face book or instagram or even on your own personal website

@patrickamori thx for that! Glad you like it! Yes vloggers are a big use case. They are using it to add shoppable videos as support for their YouTube videos, but a lot of our early user cases are small brands who sell through Amazon and need an easy to use way to talk about their products through video

@patrickamori Good question, I've been dealing with Community at 8TV and interestingly we've had a lot of bloggers come on board too. They wanted to get into video space before but hadn't done so because of the time it takes to create videos and learn to edit them for You Tube. Also the fact that each video they create on 8TV is a max of 15 seconds long is good for even the most camera shy of bloggers out there!

@stanley_edwards hey can you send me an email leon@iam8.tv

@annonymous yes it is. every video has a shareable link that plays the video in the browser 📺

@annonymous awesome!

@appernetic thx! Yes we shot the LP videos on iPhone too. Yes video is def going crazy on FB too

@nicolashitz hey thx for that! We are big film geeks and love playing with super 8 cameras. It was the original amateur video recorder that let anyone start making home movies. We want anyone to be able to pick up 8 and create their own shows so that is where 8 came from

@regis_arts thanks for the input. You're right that would be a clearer way of explaining it! We're bad with words but hopefully better at building products ;)

@flypostboy You're welcome, and we all know that it's far harder to describe something that you are so much into! ;) Good luck for the adventure!

@arecenello really appreciate that! Please let us know any feedback

@waiteonryan thanks so much for that. We think it really plugs a gap across social platforms for creators as they can link to products and earn off them, users because it's an easy way to buy things they're interested and brands because their products are being mentioned and bought!

@stephqueralto So, would you say it's like affiliate marketing; are the people reviewing or "advertising" products being compensated for any purchases that connect with their reviews? Hopefully that question made sense ha ha!

@waiteonryan Ha, I think I get what you're asking! You can think of it like QVC really, the people who make the videos (our content creators) can earn through their recommendations by putting in their Amazon affiliate code.😀

@stephqueralto This is so cool! I'm excited to see where 8tv will go, especially with it being compatible with snapchat (if I'm correct?)!

@waiteonryan yes!You should check the demo link Chris added above! 😀

@samir_doshi thx Sam 👍
