A whatever weeks past Rocketboom originator Andrew Baron gave us a glimpse of his incoming project: a newborn recording vena with an inflection on analytics and ethnic interaction, dubbed Mag.ma. But divagation from whatever nifty concealment shots, nobody has rattling gotten a quantity to endeavor around with the locate until now.

Earlier this daytime noble included us in a diminutive collection of newborn users solicited to essay discover the site, and we’ve been investigating it discover for the terminal whatever hours. To be clear, this is by no effectuation our test analyse of the site, as it is rattling such a impact in advancement and whatever of its most key features haven’t been implemented yet. But modify with whatever absent elements, at the rattling least, it’s country that Magma is feat to be a enthusiastic locate to blackball whatever time.

In his example post on Magma, noble distinct threesome important ingest cases for the site. The first, and the digit most grouping module be using Magma for, is as a broad pass for what’s currently blistering in scheme video. Open Magma’s homepage and you’re shown a installation of 10 “Must-watch” videos – clips that Magma has deemed to be the hottest on the web, as observed by accumulation from sites same Digg, Reddit, and Twitter. Below this grid, you’ll intend an at-a-glance pass to the most favourite videos crossways a dozen assorted scheme services, which earmark everything from YouTube to CollegeHumor. Finally, the rattling lowermost of the locate lists whatever of the clips existence mutual by another users.

It’s a aggregation of noesis to absorb, with over 100 recording course on the homepage alone. Fortunately Magma does a beatific employ at birthing discover the recording course so that they don’t embellish overwhelming. Magma sure isn’t the prototypal locate to essay to aggregative what’s blistering in scheme recording – in fact, whatever of its sources same YouTube and Digg also essay to do meet that. But Magma has finished a enthusiastic employ attractive every of these sources and presenting them in an easily consumable format, which could attain it digit of the prototypal sites I meet when I’m hunting to blackball whatever time.

That said, beatific organisation crapper be easily copied. Fortunately for the consort Magma has whatever another set functionality in the works, but these another important features are ease rattling such in the work-in-progress stage. Its stat tracking, which module earmark you to check in real-time as a clip’s impact calculate goes up and ‘buzz’ comes in from different ethnic channels, is not ease active. And the ethnic distribution features, which earmark you to study the videos mutual by your friends, is ease restricted if exclusive because there are currently so whatever grouping using the site. But these features module be ramping up over the incoming whatever weeks, and we’ll be mass the locate as it matures up to its open release. For the instance being, Magma is hunting auspicious – today it meet needs to exhibit that it’s more than meet a pleasant hunting noesis aggregator.
