On Wednesday evening, the long-awaited moment came: A crowd of supporters at El Rio SF gathered for free drinks, a short speech, and to cheer in the launch of youMashTube!

After a short demonstration of how to use YouTube's Quicklist to make a playlist, I gave a quick overview of our faster and more robust alternative. Then, with an 'user-generated' drumroll, I flipped the switch and youMashTube.com went live!

Here's the picture of when we launched: (That's me with the crazy hair)

Launching is quite a moment. After one month of beta testing, bug fixing, and feature-adding, I decided it was time to make this project public and see what people think. As a front-end developer, I know all-too-well that there are still some kinks to be ironed out, but problems seem to be few and far between as best I can tell.

Now I'm just hoping to get more feedback as to what is missing, what doesn't work, and how the interface can be made more intuitive and accessible. So give me a holler with your thoughts!
