VideoSift/Pligg Article on TechCrunch

Dag accidentally set the post as a "super sticky" which is our way of flagging content for our beta group. I lowered the sticky level and you guys should be able to get to it.

Sorry about that he was just trying to make sure that it stayed on the top of our blog section for a couple of days, and picked the highest sticky level.

thanks for getting it for us - looking forward to test your new system

Long time back Dag mentioned of memcached - hope you use them, any news on the current performance ?

We completely understand. TC made it sound like you magically created you new system in the past two weeks because of a possible sale. If you did, can I borrow some of that magic?

Your site has been heavily customized since the beginning and it makes sense to me for you to write your own code to make the system function exactly the way you want it.

Best of luck with your relaunch!.

This is not the case at all. VideoSift is very appreciative of the Pligg community, and we were working on our new software way before you announced your sale.

We are moving off Pligg more becuase we have diverged in our functionings and needed something dedicated to the particular way our community works.

We appreciate your support, and we certainly aren't trying to bite the hand that feeds. More here: VideoSift: Online Video Quality Control

Thanks

Thanks for the explanation. Glad to hear the sale of Pligg was not th causative factor. Congratulations on the success which has brought you so far.
