While we're still working hard to improve iusethis, we took a short break during christmas to hack together something we wanted. We've started getting links to neat videos from various sources (company emails, weblogs, friends), and we wanted a place to collect all that stuff, so we can find it later, and to let our friends check out the stuff we're watching. A video log of sorts. Maybe you can call it a vlog ? :-) No matter what you call it, you can see mine here, or maybe you'd like to check out arne's videos?
The leading philosophy behind this is to keep it as simple to use as possible. As our howto shows, we think we've acomplished that goal. That also made it fairly simple to develop, We've spent about two weeks on development, while still keeping it fairly extensible and easy to add new formats. If you still think it could have been done easier, please leave us a comment here with ideas for improvement. :)
We currently support YouTube,Google Video, iFilm, Metacafe and Flickr. If you have some suggestions for other cool multimedia services you'd like support for, we'd love to hear from you. We'd like to make it trivial to post all that stuff content providers wants to let you embed in your blog posts.
So in conclusion, run over to iwatchthis.com and register to get your own free video log thingie now, so you can show us what you watch :-) Take care, and expect some more cool announcements from us very shortly.
*update* iwatchthis now also support http://www.gametrailers.com/, http://www.blip.com/ and http://www.revver.com
How about Daily Motion? And while I’m making suggestions, I think it would be great if there were a site like iusethis, but for web 2.0 sites and other web apps.
Pretty cool idea, and I like the little “am” logo you guys have now (:
Have you folks thought about letting people say iusethis for webapps too?
In a way, it’s too bad you can’t yet say, “osx.iusethis.com” — iusethis!
Awesome work, BTW.
