Hey Susan, Thanks! We don't have a donation button right now because we're afraid it'll seem unprofessional... but we're really, really happy that people are willing to donate :) I really like the idea of time released posts. As soon as we finish our infrastructure upgrades, this will go on our development list. Very nice. As far as EE support, I know we keep chatting about it, and I have to work on it. EE is weird in the way it implements the Blogger API, but we'll address it as soon as we can.

I would like to make 3-4 videos at a time, upload them all at once, but only have one released a day... someday could this be possible?

Hey Andreas, We're going to add EE support as soon as we can, but they do weird things in their actual implementation of the Blogger API. Susan and I have spent a bunch of time on IM working on it, and we're still tracking down some of the oddities. So stay tuned. Thanks for the recommendations!

Hey Sull, First of all, thanks :) As far as professional / premium accounts, we'll be doing them soon, but they're not our chief focus at the moment -- right now we're very much concentrating on building the back-end business side of things along with our infrastructure. Pro accounts are coming, though. As for throughput, we're dedicated to having plenty of throughput for everyone, and we have no intention of limiting individual throughput. I can tell you that we're getting an additional dedicated line for use in serving videos, and that based on current usage it'll give us 150% of our required bandwidth.

Happy to hear that you folks are getting proper respect out there in that dollar bill jungle. Any updates on if/when you will be offering premium accounts?
