Just six weeks ago, I announced the open beta test of WartVid, a simple website to lend and borrow DVDs. Today I’m pleased to announce that there are over 1000 media items available to borrow and almost a quarter of the student body has signed up to use it.

There are two new features:

• Quickly browse alphabetically by title with the new “letter cloud”.
• TV shows and VHS tapes – everyone was entering these in anyway, so they are now searchable under the “Browse” tab.

Next up: allowing anyone to lend a DVD out to anyone else, whether they are a WartVid user or not, by typing their name in. Then maybe some Dojo.
