Create a joint Youtube and Google Video playlist
I’ve stumbled upon an interesting service called FeedBeat, which lets you create a video playlist out of videos from various services, with YouTube, Google Video, Blip.TV and Dailymotion.com being currently supported.
Furthermore, your playlist is hosted at a FeedBeat subdomain in the form of yourusername.feedbeat.net, and it’s accessible to anyone.
Now, when I find a service like this I usually try to find several others and do a comparison, but FeedBeat seems to be alone out there, which makes it even more interesting. These are my impressions:
FeedBeat is not without bugs, so don’t expect everything to be working perfectly. But despite all its shortcomings, it’s a service that I’ve immediately started to use actively. It lets you add videos from various video content providers via direct link pasting or by search from FeedBeat’s window (*hint: don’t combine these two, it creates problems. Personally, I use only the search feature for adding new videos). After that, you go to your personal FeedBeat site (mine is franticindustries.feedbeat.net, where you can look a short assortment of Gotenburg-influenced metalcore videos. Don’t ask.) and you can watch the videos in continuation. Great for parties. Also, FeedBeat supports RSS, so the service is pretty great for podcasters who want to place all their podcasts in one big playlist.
There are some customization options (you can, for example, turn off the “old tube” effect), but the most important one is missing: full screen. This type of service simply begs for full screen, as the main idea is to let some videos play and enjoy them as if you were watching TV. The GUI of the player needs a serious overhaul before it can be called pretty. You’ll also notice some occasional glitches, but they were not serious enough to ruin my experience with FeedBeat.
Overall, while there’s some polishing to do before FeedBeat can be a really serious product, I think it has potential. If they fix some of the bugs, work on the design a bit and add full screen view, it will be a great little service.

Hey,
I thought I would point out that videosift actually has playlists that support videos from all 12 of our supported hosts. You can see some examples here.
http://www.videosift.com/playlist
there is of course a caveat, videos must have made it on to the site in order to make it on to your playlist.

James Roe: thx for the info, although this is really useful only to Videosift users, while Feedbeat is useful to all YouTube/Google Video users. Besides, the idea is to have non-stop playback, a feature that I always wanted for viewing music videos.

Radioninja.com also does this, but this site is mainly dedicated to music videos.

Now you have Tails on your side to combat that evil Dr. Robotnic! This game has better graphics, a new feature (the charge-up spin) multiplayer, and fun levels! A great addition to any Genesis library!

Some scholars can’t know how to see the format thesis close to this good post. So, we should suggest your perfect data. But they would search for the dissertation.

I think that any company that takes their online presence seriously should look into having a blog. It is a way to engage with your customers on a more personal level.
