I come up with a lot of ideas, very few that I actually use - but one that I came up with recently pertains to all those video sites that are trying to differentiate themselves from the rest. Basically a regular old video host but allowing users to upload videos remotely, perhaps by mobile phone but also remotely by transloading files across servers. A user would be able to enter the url to a video on their blog and the site would use fsockopen or w/e to download and then convert the file (if needed). The video host would need a lot of bandwidth, but you could quickly rack in a following amongst video bloggers or a niche audience with people who don't like youtube and are trying to move away from it. Well the idea is up for grabs, if anyone does it I'll love a heads up to see it in action.
Sounds interesting. But I agree the added part is only for a niche (which is rather small) of video bloggers. Could be quite good though if it gets the right publicity.
But it doesn't let you upload to there and your blog at the same time, you would have to do it twice.
well the main thing that I wanted to emphasize is the ability to to pull videos from any site and host it on that video site. So a Vlogger would only need to upload once, and they could use the video host to pull in their videos from their blog, or to pull videos from youtube or whatever. There are people who create videos and want them hosted elsewhere - so they have to reupload each time, if a host was started that could just the videos given the url it would make it all the more simple. Also bored.com does not have this as far as I"m aware, they may have mobile upload - but also note that bored.com is really only for "ball to the groin" videos - slapstick and viral videos. Posting something like a vlog or something that doesn't have mass appeal would end up getting spammed by trolls or flamed. The entire premise of my idea was to build something like youtube - but capable of transloading videos from virtually anywhere.
