Hey!Watch goes public

January 10th, 2007

Thank you and congratulations to all!

Many thanks for the emails, feedbacks and suggests we received every days. Everybody enjoyed the service and to be honest, we are proud of that because we worked hard to create a full service easy to use.

So many people came to visit us and ask for an invite during the beta. We did not expect to see such an activity because of Christmas Holidays. So great!

But now the Beta has finished. Actually, we don’t want to stay in Beta forever ;)

Thus, we are pleased to show how you like using HW…

  • We already have addict Watchers who encode videos each day
  • You enjoy grabbing online videos.
  • You often launch night encoding sessions to get your videos ready for the morning.
  • You also plan to build your own services on top of HW and that’s really what we want by proposing the API.
  • We noticed that a lot of formats were created

… And what do you think about it:

  • High speed and high quality encoding process
  • For you, handling Hey!Watch is like stealing a candy from a baby
  • You think that Hey!Watch answers a growing need for video encoding

The beta test was really positive for us. We’ve added things and fixed many bugs thanks to you.

Here are the formats we added:

  • Zune
  • iRiver H3×0
  • iAudio X5
  • TiVo DVR
  • 3GPP2

New stuffs and fixed bugs

  • New offers with no more file size limit. (see below)

  • Add a ping function which notifies you by HTTP when an encode is done
  • Rename the title of an encoded video will rename the file name too
  • With a Watcher account, you can encode a video multiple times
  • Show specific error (if possible) when an encode failed
  • Fix file upload in safari
  • Add invoices page to track your payments (see below)

All has been said, you can now freely create an account and enjoy the service at http://heywatch.com . Don’t forget that we need you to constantly improve the service. So, keep sending your ideas, suggests and bugs via our forum .
