I started watching the first video, and it said "Check out the remake". "Okay," I say, "if it's better, why isn't it on the main site? If it's not better...why is it so prominent?" And then it turned out that both videos were, in a word, awful. You lost me after the first 100 seconds or so of each one. I don't know if they ever advertised your website--I didn't get that far. PS: The one on the main site has misspellings in the lyrics.
I also looked at the main description:
>Let your candidates code in their own IDE where they
>feel comfortable and check the results in Google Docs.
"Ah," I think, "he's about to pull some kind of voodoo so that I can show my interviewer what I can do with Vim and SLIME." Then I actually investigated, and found out that by "their own IDE" you mean a "common IDE", and by "common IDE" you actually were referring to only two IDEs, neither of which I have used or want to use.
The web version is actually cool, and I'll probably use it with my friends (I actually just finished typing some code into Facebook to help a friend out--it would've been great to use this website instead). But I had my hopes built up about my "own IDE", so using the web interface turned out to be disappointing.
So my humble suggestions:
1) Trash both videos.
2) Change some wording to make it clear that most people will use a web interface that niftily allows real-time editing by two people.
3) Since your product is so cool, mention that if the customer uses Eclipse or IDEA, there's a plugin so he can use his own IDE!
