- thehuntedpossum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9what we need is a porn video hyperaggregator.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I have an idea for a new startup too....
What about Hyper-Hyperaggregation? That will definatly lead us to the path to Web 3.0, 4.0 and then to
Web 5.0 Optimized! I think I'll call my new Hyper-Hyperaggregation startup Hype.com. - haggie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Marked this whole post as hyper-spam.
- clinko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wait, there's lots of unsorted information on a set of individual servers all around the world? I'm going to create my own startup that helps people find this information.
I'll call it a "Search Engine"
Who's with me?! - jakepaulus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5...and it will be called google video
- alanflores, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4im too hyper to comment.
- maladas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm suprised this article doesn't mention www.videosift.com
Edit: wow, everyone has their favorite aggregation site, haha - shreky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What we need is higher quality videos. At least mpeg2 quality videos.
- Unclickable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Among all that I tried I prefer http://yuxt.com It's simple and clean interface makes it fun to watch videos. Simple drag and drop to create a collection. The best part there is no need to register to try that. Another cool part of it is by adding "yuxt.it/" in front of a URL you can simply add the videos from that page to your collection. Just try http://yuxt.it/http://digg.com/videos
- EricAnderton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not me. :)
Since it's an aggregator, what is described in this article is really more of a "television channel". The only difference is that this is a way to easily build playlists of video from all over the place, whereas a traditional brodcast is really a "closed video playlist" with a published schedule to make it practical. - maverick001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I authored a website for this purpose alone. And now I'm finding it difficult to gain traction. Trust me, its a very competitive field and I'm not doing too well. I won't link to my site here but I will mention that its a user powered video billboard.
- rumford, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Great blog post. User aggregation across multiple services is key. Content syndication via rss for user created channels/playlists/connections/etc. is also key. Easy discovery of the user aggregated content is also critical.There are literally tens of thousands of virtual channel opportunities that will support very narrow niches online. We will be launching this week in alpha at http://www.videosticky.com
Having an easy way to allow the 10% of community users that don't actually create video content, to create a channel of content that they are passionate about is really critical. The video marketplace is very fragmented and there is room for multiple solutions.
New startups might partner with the traditional media giants. But there is also an opportunity for solutions that are not connected with the media giants. Users are watching less and less TV and are consuming video more often online. This trend in user behavior allows for virtually unlimited channels of content to be created beyond just "My Personal Favorites" sort of lists.
Worthy of note is that online users are consuming new media not created by the media giants. Consumers ideas of entertainment is shifting rapidly towards online with UGC playing an important role. There are nearly 80,000-1000,000 new videos uploaded online every day, they can't all be crap, there are some real gems in there. ;)
Users will aggregate videos for many of the same reasons people blog, to voice their opinions and tastes, to make connections, to share content, to take ownership of their ideas and principles, to be their own channel programmer, to create a communication channels that is syndicatable, to build a community around an idea/concept/theme/product/person/personal taste, etc... - trevbork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Excuse me while I consult a dictionary.
- gigaboy20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The main reason why this post is "close but no cigar" is because all of you don't get it that if everyone is competiting for space, remember the space is LIMITED, there is only so much room on the page. The funny thing is, I patented the solution when I couldnt finish building it at the time, I invented hyper-aggregation and still, no one get it right. That's ok, the exciting part is that soon, everyone will get blipd!
- fac3less, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yet another reason for me to hurry my ass up and get videojury.com launched...
- marques99, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0eblowgeek, I would have to agree with you for the most part. Hyper-aggregation or video bookmarking may never take off. I am working on a such a service b/c I wanted a way to organize my videos and share them. Will these services get flickr like appeal? Video bookmarking is a lot like Delicious' social bookmarking. The main difference is the presentation layer and organization. Hopefully in the next few months I will finish my solution and if someone decides to digg it, I hope it is received well. As with this post, looks like I am a late arrival in this game ;).
- ElbowGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Cool, another creaky old idea dressed in new jargon and a few new features. What's bloody stupid is that YouTube and the like *are* aggregators - as soon as a video appears somewhere, a thousand idiots suddenly get the bright spark to repost it on all of the *Tube sites. All that these silly "Hyperaggregators" do is filter the same lame bunch of viral advertising, Dubbya speech gaffes and car crash clips through various twits' WOMBAT (Waste Of Money, Brains and Time) blog, most of which consist nowadays of two lines saying "Hey, check this cool/wacky/sexy/gross-out video..." and a link to a video site anyways.
Sorry, but I'm a little sick of bouncing around through a hundred blogs which only link to other blogs, all of which only give useless/inaccurate/illiterate opinions, if they give any kind of opinion at all.
Harrumph. - haggie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1pornotube.com
- rabindra, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1No intention of spamming here. Just for information to make the video hyper aggregation list longer.
uLinkx aggregates videos from Youtube, Myspace, Metacafe, Grouper etc... and index it for people to search. uLinkx also provide LIVE search on the respective web sites. User can also create their own collection and syndicate it using gadget/widget.
People can use their google adsense client id to make money by sharing their collected videos and playlist/collection.
Give it a try.
