I think their biggest problem was they focussed way too much on headbobbing avatars and not enough on features and stability. Every experience I had with turntable was excruciatingly broken and the cpu-sucking bullshit flash animation didn't help.

Prior to turntable the founders worked on stickybits.com which was a socially curated database of files associated to barcodes. I still think the idea was brilliant, but the site was far too cutesy for me.

I used it to associate a file of a map to my RPG book. I could have even associated the PDF. I think it were redone with a focus on specific utilities, it could be compelling. Just an app that associated user-manuals with barcodes would be pretty nice.
