Very cool, I registered. How does this differ from jtv?

In addition, needs voting for room members for next video, or to change video. Is that implemented and I just missed it? Otherwise it's just... the Internet on rails.

Could be very cool, needs some/a lot of aesthetic polish and features that make it actually social besides a chatroom and a "tweet this" button (ESPN has "tweet this" buttons as well as chatrooms with real-time game updates. I don't think anyone would call that "social" though.)

I like the concept, needs to tie in more with other concepts of social applications. Also a javascript bookmarklet would be great. Say if I want to show a buddy this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L64c5vT3NBw, I click the bookmarklet on that page and it creates a Frozenhot URL that would take the user into a chatroom and spin up that video automatically. Something like that.

Seems like most of the comments are ambivalent about your idea, and maybe it's been done before, or could've been done 5 years ago, but this could be cool for a lot of people. I can see you getting traction here. (Especially once you overhaul the layout!)

Smart.

jtv is similar but is for live video only. also, i plan on adding a lot more interactive features to the site.

Right now all of the users in the room are able to vote for the next video. I hope this clarifies things. Several people have suggested adding a way for the room to collectively decide to "skip video" which is a good idea that I am considering.

Your idea for clicking a bookmarklet and spinning up a video room is good, but it might detract from the main focus of the site now (and there are actually sites that exist that already do this).

Thanks!
