Mag.ma Unleashes Its Directory Of Hot Video composition To The Masses

August 25, 2009 ·Filed Under Technology News

Last May, we got our first taste of Mag.ma, the new video portal to come from Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron. We’ve been tracking the site since next, and it presented at our Real-Time Crunchup last month, but it’s remained in private beta. Today, Mag.ma finally opens up to the public.

As we’ve noted before, most citizens will use Mag.ma as a great place to kill date. The site presents users with around one hundred video thumbnails on a loner page, with hot videos from Twitter, YouTube, Digg, a variety of other services and the web at large. But

despite a wide selection of substance, the site manages not to overwhelm users. Mag.ma additionally has a heavy emphasis on stat tracking (you can watch a ticker count up as more humans watch a positive video). There’s additionally a strong discovery component that lets you see videos other members on the site are recommending.
