I like the idea of allowing users to annotate videos with the quote tool... Think flickr's annotation tool, but ours is time based.  Someone makes an edit and then enters a comment. Then on the video page it appears down below the video with the other comments.... not on the video like flickr does with photos.

So, the user can not only read the annotation... but click on a link and watch the annotation... Right there in the page.  Oh, and perhaps they could tag the annotation too. Pretty cool. It's all very conversational.

Perhaps somehow we can make it so people can add it to their blogs... with a link or something. Or perhaps a _javascript_ thingy they drop in their vlog post... perhaps a link thingy that they enable like feedburner's feedflare that shows up in the RSS... it's all very doable.

So... why would people use this? In a word, panels, speaches, conferences.... You can directly reference a portion of a video and comment on it. Panels, speaches, and conferences rock.

Well, peace,

The quoting at Mefeedia was a bit clunky.  It was too slow to scan to the quoted pieces.

Well, tagging segments of video that can next be linked, aggregated
and re-connected, etc. is a project I've been conceptualizing, drawing
some prototypes and starting to work on (initially in Flash.)

sounds good, and great to know people are looking at these possibilities.
. i built a similar system in director a few years ago.. the main problem is the aggregation of online material. it was fine for marking material that i imported in manually, but how do we work with material in peoples feeds/blogs?  i think peter was heading in the right direction with his quoting system.. (any ideas how that worked? peter is away at the moment).. somehow it needs to be able to tag stuff and maybe (just maybe) let people download only the tagged segment?
