Any one interested in this?

It automatically syncs the video with everyone watching it.

You can create your own accounts and create your own channel where you can add your own videos, etc.

I've used this service in the past a few times when watching things with friends. Pretty solid system as far as I can tell.

Oh, I remember I used to use a site called "youtubesocial" for stuff that was essentially this. Pretty good service, gotta say. Not sure how much time I'd spend in a week using it, but definitely handy when I needed it.

This would be very useful for when skype or another group watches videos and movies together, I like it.

I just watched some cartoons with someone a few nights ago using this service. I think the only real complaint I had was that the video kept resuming after it was paused. Not sure if that was just me or a universal thing (although I can imagine why it would be an actual 'feature').

[pheonix561 2080]

Is it at all possible that someone you were watching it with was resuming the video?

[Vio Milanor 28]

I don't believe so. Both of us were trying to get the video to pause. Unless it was just an isolated incident, or they were, in fact, messing with me. Though I doubt it.

EDIT: I was just testing it out on the link Tappy provided -- so unless he was actually in there and resuming the video after I paused it, my initial statement seems to be the case.

You cannot pause the video, nor "rewind."

Once it starts to play, it keeps going, if someone is watching. If no one is watching it pauses where it was last at until someone returns, then it continues again.

Does it play anything other than dubstep?
