FilmGator is getting some media coverage

What an exciting week! It started off with FilmGator getting some attention in the popular startup blog KillerStartups.com. You can check the piece out by following this link. Don’t forget to give your vote as well, so FilmGator will rise to prominence in the top lists of the blog.

So then yesterday we got a heads up that a piece on FilmGator would be published in the Nation edition of The Thrillist, “a subscription-based email newsletter and website catering to male, urban professionals in their twenties and thirties”. Joe McGauley, the editor for the Nation edition who contacted us about the piece, told us that the newsletter itself reaches hundreds of thousands of people - and in addition to that, the piece was also published at their website. A link to this piece can be found here.

Already in November ‘09 a Finnish/Northern European startup blog ArcticStartup also wrote a piece titled “FilmGator - The Last.fm For Movies”. Link here.

So what does this mean? It means we’re picking up pace. Getting some traction in the public eye is great and it means we’ll be able to tune the service to aid more and more people find answers to questions such as “What are people actually watching?” and.. “What should I watch?”.
