Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the attention to detail in that you included closed captioning for the sample videos on the site -- it's something I rarely expect to see and I'm always very pleasantly surprised when it's there. Is that something that'll be carrying over to the rest of the videos on the site?
Believe it or not I am actually glad they are charging subscriptions. For me businesses that charge are a sign of quality (within reason of course).
I know I am getting tired of using "free" services that actually aren't free at all when you factor in the time I have to use to really extract value from them.
I am just hoping Treehouse actually provides a service that makes a difference, i.e. someone can learn faster and more efficiently with Treehouse than some other way.
So far this looks good. Can't wait to try it out later tonight.
Based on this competition [1] it seems that their business model is different subscription packages. The Gold package, for example, is supposedly $588 per year.
Treehouse has been around under the name Think Vitamin Membership for about a year and a half. We charge a subscription (from day one), and reached profitability before we took on our investors.
