Mininova team launches new web site: Snotr

We’re excited to announce that we are launching a new web site today: Snotr. We worked more than 2 years on this web site, mainly due to a lack of time. But after dozens of delayed milestones, we think that Snotr is finally ready for public.

So what exactly is Snotr? From the Snotr FAQ:

Snotr is a source for short and funny or interesting videos. Everyone can submit a video, which will be reviewed by our team. If we accept your video, it will be listed on the front page and other pages. Users can rate videos and post comments to share their opinion with others. Please note that we try to keep this website family-safe, so adult submissions are not allowed.

Some of the unique features of Snotr (compared to the other “funny videos” sites out there) are:

  • Clean interface, no adult content, SFW
  • High-quality videos
  • Real-time video resizing (just drag the video-size slider)
  • Audio volume leveled (no need to change the volume for every video)

So to be clear: Snotr is NOT a YouTube/Metacafe/Dailymotion/whatever killer, if you’re looking for a place to dump your videos, stick to those sites. But in case you have some spare time to spend (*cough* work *cough*), try Snotr :)

See you there!

Update: For those who are wondering what the name ‘Snotr’ means: it doesn’t mean anything at all. It’s just a catchy name.

P.S. If you spot any bugs, please post them here.

    Nice guys :)

  2. 2 dave

    agreed :D

  3. 3 me

    Like the Service. Hate the name.

  4. 4 tansydog

    looks cool, good work guys :)

  5. 5 Giro

    I know I’m excited. Don’t slack on the filtering guys!

  6. 6 hellohi

    Can you explain what the name means? I get the snot bit, but the r? And what does it have to do with funny web clips? Also, a few things to keep in mind:

    Don’t upload the same clip over and over again. Pointless.

    Get video files without watermarks. Seeing eBaumsworld or “This came from so-and-so website” markings gets really annoying really fast.

    other than that, good stuff :)

  7. 7 HyBRiiD

    I’m guessing ’snorter’, as in snorting from laughter or something… Dunno but this website idea has really really been way too overdone. Tooooooooo many of these sites out there…

  8. 8 tansydog

    I would guess it’s meant to be like the name “flickr”

    Or maybe it’s just supposed to make people wonder and discuss it ;) :)

  9. 9 Deznaj

    Hmmm, I fail to see the relevance of yet another ‘funny videos’ site. Like HyBRiiD said, this concept has been done many times before, there is hardly any niche left.

    Still, I guess you guys have to do something in your spare time…

    very nice - great- keep it for many year to come

  12. 12 machinmon

    yeah like Deznaj said, a site that is directly SFW will still find repeated content; a dedication for non-pop original finds would be better

  13. 13 rekrad

    Thanks for all the work that went into the site! Much appreciated folks, keep up the good work.

  14. 14 viku

    i want make my account in mininova.com

    WISH U A GOOD LUCK.ALWAYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS.

  16. 16 Gibby

    Snotr…..boogers? Those green bits of gunk that lives up someones nose?

    Change the name guys!!!!!

  17. 17 mido scofield

    this is what do you need!

  18. 18 raks

    I’m practically new to mininova (2 weeks old) but despite being one of your frequent visitors, sure glad that you came up with a video site for us to be able to laugh once in a while, that’s great for relieving stress! GOOD JOB!

    spammers found where comments are.

  22. 22 DL

    Good site guys.
    Just wondering if that was you guys opening all the beers? LOL

  23. 23 lmbe

    اين لغتنا العربية من كل هذا

  24. 24 reubendiaz

    Good idea, but the name has unfortunate connotations if you are British, especially Scottish. A snotter is a lump of the green stuff from up your nose where I come from. A bit gross.

  25. 25 crand

    nice site.

    however, suffers from bad name (*cough* snot *cough*) and lack of content (im sure that will pick up though)

  26. 26 sam

    that “video size” slider is USELESS. It just makes the video more blurry. A sad gimmick to a sad, unoriginal YouTube knock-off. Better luck next time.

  27. 27 LELLO

    nice work guys !!

  28. 28 ahmedsrs

    good work

  29. 29 Sjoerd

    Love the name (sounds like snot, bugger, bully all the good stuff that’s coming out of your nose). Love the video size slider, could be quite handy sometime. The best thing is the leveled volume! Wow!
    Uploading as we speak. Hopefully you the moderaters will be gentle (need a moderator?!).

  30. 30 malaize

    cool site enlightning and refreshing keep it up.

  41. 41 24

    nice site. i don’t want it to be another YT/DailyMotion quite frankly, those sites already have a buckload of poor content. keep Snotr clean with light SFW vids :)

  42. 42 Eljay

    Good job!!! Apart from filtering the content to be uploaded, can we also remove offensive messages (starting with some of the above posts). While not being a prude, I (and I hope others as well) am fed up of seeing four letter / swear words pass off as messages. Another reason I love the minimova forum!

    YASUCK:
    You own your hand, and that is all you will ever own. ;]
    You should really move out of your mothers basement, and abandon your dial-up connection and go get:
    A girl friend
    A Job
    A social life.
    A personality
    And one last thing, get therapy. You are apparently highly undermedicated person, addressing the mininova gang as “minilamers”.
    Sorry to say it you are the mini-lamer your self. Meaning: you are the only person in this forum that has insulted this site, mininvova and even it’s users.
    Yasuck, may I add You make us all laugh at how you piss yourself off.
    But, please keep posting here, we love it when we see people make idiots out of themselves on the internet.

    its an interesting Idea…

  71. 71 L_R

    Is there a list of restricted words for the torrent comments section on mininova anywhere? I know you filter out the main swear words but your word filter is *extremely* strict and it sucks when a really long comment that took a while to type out is erased on sending because I just happened to say “crap” just once.

    I agree that the name is terrible, not catchy at all, sorry guys. Cool site tho. I think if you really want it to go mainstream you have to change the name.
    My 2 cents

    Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
