The dcovery app is what I would call a 'demo video' or a 'walk-through
video' - totally different from the first video that Lionel showed. This, I
would spend my money on. Google also tends to churn out similar videos
which help to generate interest. The Dcovery video is just a tad too long
though imo, but then again I've a terribly short attention span on the web.
@ciaran Yup, about 2,000 people. Which is pathetic considering that we have
a few hundred load tests a day!
