Grouper.com (kinda what we what to do...done by someone else)
Not that I wasn't expecting it, afterall....I'm no genius. So, according to an article at techcrunch today, Grouper, a video sharing site that I have personally only looked at a couple of times, has launched a new feature that allows users to comment on FRAMES OF VIDEO. (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah). However, instead of using text you comment with your webcam. Here is an example of the app working...pretty cool. I really like the way they designed it, especially the fact that all the comments come up within the player and you can click them and view them immediately.
The site itself is not too bad either. The design is okay. You can create groups and invite others to join. Once inside a group, users can stream music, download personal files, and IM/chat in a private setting with other group members, kind of interesting The video files can also be podcasts. And you can further feed your 'myspace beast' with one click publishing.....But the software is only available for Windows XP....sorry my MAC babies...but hey you probably didn't want it anyway.
Comments
However, I should note that when I tried to comment on video on the site it gave me the dreaded 'Internal Server Error'. But I was just informed my the genius Megan...that this is perhaps because I can't comment with text and must use a webcam....I have been looking at actionscript for too long!
