Greg, I had trouble with your link. Can you leave another?

Yes, this is a great idea. As a matter of fact, I created a blog a while ago that does just that! I cull the videos from not just YouTube, but all the video sites that let you embed video player code (google, youtube, revver, dailymotion, etc). I have based the blog on the idea of a half an hour show (eighteen hundred seconds = 30 minutes)

Currently, my audience is just one. (My buddy Will, a.k.a anonymous), but I am hoping that others will find my new blog and watch it.

So, if you are interested, please go and visit, http://eighteenhundred.blogpspot.com.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Also, make sure to click the archives, to see all the "episodes".

Today's episode is people that have made songs dedicated to YouTube

G4TV's The Daily Nut is a great show that covers that ground, though they're not tied to a single platform. I've seen lots of great shows with them.

There is a YouTube-esque show called The Fizz on DirecTV's Channel 101 that includes notable viral videos and content filmed specifically for the show by a number of YouTube "personalities". They may well be the "not quite ready for Prime Time time" players of the era, but given the state of Prime Time, that's probably a good thing.

If StumbleUpon Video could be piped direct to the tube you'd have a winner right there.

I'd love to see a YouTube show. It could be featured on the home page of YouTube with the featured videos or director videos -- sort of a 10-15 minute show of the best videos of the day or week. YouTube does have an editorial slant to some degree via the featured videos so this "show" would basically lump them all together for the day. Hit play once and watch the best of the day.

It’s a great idea… and it already happens in Me.dium! And in true YouTube ethos, there is no editorial slant – instead, the users decide what’s hot or not. Every Friday at 17:00GMT / 12:00 EST / 9:00 PST whole crowds of Me.dium users gather around youtube.com for a YouTube “Me.cast”. They “see” each other on the Me.dium map, and can start taking each other to videos , or following the crowds to the best vids of the day (UGC or other). Conversation explodes, friends are made… and everyone comes back next week. Full disclaimer: I work for Me.dium. But this is a lot of fun. We’re still in private beta right now, but you can join by clicking here: http://me.dium.com/beta/from/5d48c

I would have said the point of youtube is more or less that it lets you have a little more control than on, off and switch channels.

I like that about youtube. I don't like TV - I don't watch it.

Stuff thats on TV that I do like - I'll get it elsewhere, on a dvd or from the net (some sites do let you watch that weeks episode of whatever online - in the states i think NBC does it for some things)
