[sudoroom] starting the year off well

[Leonid Kozhukh]

this is coming from someone involved in these kinds of purchases and bd
relationships. quick sanity check: done well, would this be used by normal
people to create their own stories?

id argue people would use it if prompted to make a video profile that
represents themselves, for instance - connecting google+ to youtube better.
if you can create a few quality examples, then you know the tool is useful.

makes sense?
