Testimonials

Check out these testimonials from YouNow users!

David Olshanetsky
“I want to thank YouNow for making my dreams come true…Someone from British TV Sky 1 saw me and gave me an audition to host a new gossip show!”

Donovan Santiago
“I recently started the “Why I Love YouNow” campaign with a Youtube video on my account. I plan to keep expanding The I Love Younow.com campaign until it gets big… Younow has become a part of my life and I wear my Younow t-shirt with pride because I Love Younow.com! Here’s to the future!”

Max Wright
“Growing up I was made fun of a lot, and had trouble keeping a steady relationship with my friends, but on YouNow, its like a complete reset button. People that are watching you have no idea who you are besides your name and what you look like. You feel like a completely different person.”

Abigail Green
“This site has made me grow so much as a person. I came onto YouNow as someone with little confidence, but, that has all changed! Before I would hardly sing to people, and now, well, I sing all the time!

For me, however, YouNow isn’t about the prizes – it’s about so much more! I know I will be a part of YouNow for a long time to come, so finally, I just want to say, a huge, massive thank-you to Adi Sideman (for those who don’t know, he is the founder of YouNow) and anyone else who works at YouNow!”

Hannah Johnson
“For me, I think the best thing is that I’m a tester for the YouNow mobile beta app. Being 1 of 25 people in the whole world to have that app is extraordinary, absolutely out of this world, and is a real achievement. It is rewarding to know that I am one of the people who is making YouNow even better for the new people that visit the site, and I am honored. Thank you, YouNow for changing my life.”

Fiona MacLennan
“I think YouNow is such a great website because it is unlike any other… I hope that I will be using YouNow for a very long time.”

Oli White
“The YouNow community is so friendly and welcoming, I felt so comfortable when I first broadcasted, there were so many people that were so encouraging asking me lots of nice questions in the chat. I’ve met so many new people that I will remember forever on this website and shared many memories with them. Some of the friendships I’ve made on YouNow are stronger than some of the people I’ve been friend’s with at school for over 5 years.

There are many other broadcasting websites out there on the internet but nothing will ever match up to YouNow purely because you don’t have to be known on the internet, you can simply broadcast and be guaranteed to have an audience watching.”

    Tales of a YouNow Meet and Greet… by Connor Halsey

    On the 7th of January 2012, I hosted a YouNow meet and greet in Milton Keynes, UK. The plan was to meet some of the power users of YouNow, as well as those who enjoy watching and interacting.

    Jordan’s happy to have won a shirt!

    The day started with Jack Davies heading over to my house. After grabbing the t-shirts YouNow had sponsored the event with, we then left to meet Tom Green, another well-known broadcaster on YouNow.com.

    After meeting up with Tom, we proceeded to catch our train to the city, where we met up withOli White, and had a few sandwiches at Subway.

    Oli White with two girls from Scotland!

    As we finished eating we headed to the Meet Up location where we found two girls who had traveled all the way from Scotland –  a 7-8 hour train journey! For their dedication, we we awarded them with YouNow t-shirts to wear proudly around the streets of Scotland.  We made friendly chat and had a good laugh, and were eventually joined by Thomas Wetherall, yet another power user of YouNow!

    It was time to have even MORE fun, so we headed up to the arcade at the centre of the city. There we had guitar hero battles, dance mat battles, and of course Dual Team Air Hockey. After about 10 minutes in the arcade Tom Green won £40 on a machine… impressive! From there we moved on to the indoor snowboarding slopes and rock climbing walls.

    Now that it was coming to the end of the day, we had one last thing to do: broadcast LIVE from the Apple Store.

    Check it out below:

    Me, Connor Halsey!

    Overall the day was amazing. We met some cool new people and everyone was even cooler in real life! Many thanks to everyone who showed up, and to the people who couldn’t make it – we’re sorry you weren’t there! This was a lot of fun, and we plan to hold another one very soon.

    STAY TUNED!

    To keep up with me, follow me on Twitter, friend me on Facebook or YOUNOW of course!

    Why I Love YouNow – by Oli White

    Here is a personal narrative from a faithful YouNow user, Oli White from Hertfordshire, UK:

    My name is Oli White; I’m 16 years old and am fairly new to broadcasting at YouNow. I first heard about YouNow through Sam Pepper’s tweets on twitter. I was really intrigued to what YouNow was and what it did, so I decided to check it out.

    My first impression of YouNow was that it was amazing. I found it so simple to use yet it looked so slick, clear and amazing! You simply login using Facebook, which I think is a wonderful way to login because I hate signing up to websites because it’s such a hassle of entering information all the time. I love the fact that there is a line up of the broadcasters so you will always be informed who will be coming on next if the current person gets voted off. The site gives you potentially one minute for you to convince your fans to vote you up and keep you on. This is a great feature because the audience is constantly interacting with you, if it’s them talking to you in the chat or thumbing you up or down with the two buttons either side of the timer. I think the main feature that everyone is interested in is the Prizes. This is one of the main ways to keep people motivated and dedicated to keep coming back to the site and broadcast for the chance to grab the fantastic prizes.

    The YouNow community is so friendly and welcoming, I felt so comfortable when I first broadcasted, there were so many people that were so encouraging asking me lots of nice questions in the chat. I’ve met so many new people that I will remember forever on this website and shared many memories with them. Some of the friendships I’ve made on YouNow are stronger than some of the people I’ve been friend’s with at school for over 5 years.

    After spending some time watching other people’s broadcasts I decided to buck up my courage and do a broadcast myself. The response I got from broadcasting was not what is expected, I gained well over 200 fans in just a couple of days and now 2 weeks later I have just over 1000 fans. I really feel that YouNow is going to grow and grow and become better and better offering more prizes, shows and ways for people to get involved.

    There are many other broadcasting websites out there on the internet but nothing will ever match up to YouNow purely because you don’t have to be known on the internet, you can simply broadcast and be guaranteed to have an audience watching.
