When TechCrunch writes about your site,  you know you're going to get new visitors,  and traffic,  and comments.  But the comments are always a mixed bag,  and if the TC crowd turns against you they can be downright pointy.  That's why last week's tech crunch article was so gratifying.  While the article itself was a great piece,  and the growth that magnify.net has experienced in the last few months was fun to see chronicled.

Here's just a sample of the comments from the article:

Magnify is alone in its class, I know the space well. Kyte, and others like it are ’streaming’ services. magnify.net has focused hard on a platform to build your own YouTube with your branding, your site UI, etc.

Magnify is by far the best free video curating and publishing solution I have found.
I think the people there seem really cool, and I don’t think the name’s that bad either.
I built Magnify’s 50,000th channel, and they really pimped it out for me. I’ve built another 40+ channels since then.

i know magnify.net founder Steve Rosenbaum personally - one thing most people who come to this online video world don’t have that Steve has is a background in professional film/video production - he has an intuitive understanding that takes years of being on both sides of the fence and magnify is a place where people can curate content - also magnify might just be a model for the future of NEWS - i watched the oscars from british tv without american commercials on magnify.net too - in full disclosure i have no investment or interests in magnify.net

....What makes Magnify unique is their CMS back end that allows you to add things like blogs, twitter feeds, live streaming modules, and many others. WorldTV just looks like a giant player.

While being a competitor in the video aggregation market I will admit that Magnify has ‘mature’ as a platform. When I first took a look at their UI, I hated it, it was too confusing. Today it is much better and I see that they are learning from their mistakes. Kudos guys!!! For those who care and to give a shameless plug, my site is myVidster.com which is not a white label solution but a social video bookmarking and video backup solution.
