Its called a bookmarklet and I believe it was popularized by blogs
like Wordpress and Tumblr - by clicking their bookmarklet you can
create a new post for example. We faced a lot of challenge in trying
to extract embedded video from the server side - because various sites
use very different mechanisms (javascript, flash, ajax) to render
embedded videos. That's why we resorted to client-side approach using
a bookmarklet. Once a page is rendered we can parse the contents and
grab what we need.

However we will have to figure a way to execute javascript on the
server side eventually - for example bookmarking a video by right
clicking a url (without opening the page), something I wish for every
time I want to queue a video from my twitter feed. Right now I have to
click the url, open the page and then bookmark.

We don't intend to open source the application. We're flirting with
the idea of putting up some of these features as slices/recipes/
plugins for easy reuse by the community. This might take a while
though. If you need something specific I'll be happy to copy-paste the

We have not tested much with Opera - there may be some issues specific
to the browser. I added the same video to my account (I use Chrome on
Ubuntu 9.10) and I could add it: http://radbox.me/watch/video/502
I'll test it on Opera some time.

Perhaps try in a webkit-based browser (Firefox/Chrome/Safari)? We've
encountered some bugs in IE as well since we use a lot of jquery
effects that IE doesn't really like much (and we don't like IE at
all!). When you saw "Saving..." message once it saves the message
should change to "Saved". Give it another shot. Sorry for the issue.

I sure will... and I read your thread again - I started playing with
web2py since the very early releases and coming from a j2ee
background, the reduction in effort for creating a good application is
amazing. :)

Having said that, there are hundreds of web frameworks out there, and
web2py is still very very young; the best way to evaluate a framework
is to actually use it or watch it in action on a public app like ours.
The framework makes development so fast developing an app will be
faster than posting a thread. :)
