Yoink’d Mediabox serves as a simple tool for finding, organizing, and sharing online videos (from Youtube, Google Video, Revver, etc.) It’s goal is to combine concepts from three popular modes of media viewing – constant media streaming from television, ease of use from desktop media players, and saving media for later from time-shifting boxes – into an integrated experience.
Yoink’d also is able to convert any RSS feed into a video playlist, which allows it to directly “play” feeds like those provided by iTunes of their top music videos. Sharing functionality integrates with Facebook to find friends. There will be future expansion to provide customized interfaces for the Wii, iPhone/iPod Touch, PS3, PSP and more.
Yoinkd.com In Their Own Words
“Fundamentally, our core value lies in our user experience and media sharing capabilities. We are not here to replace YouTube, Google Video, etc. but instead we are champions of these video content sources. We want you to continue to use those services and yoinkd content from those destinations. We are simply here to enhance your experience through a different, simpler, more mobile user interface.”
Why Yoinkd.com It Might Be A Killer
From the moment you first search for a video, Yoink’d provides a constant stream of content. This follows a different paradigm from traditional sites, in which your time is split between browsing between pages, and actually viewing content. Its media player and sharing functionality makes it easy to use as a standalone player, allowing you to watch your own content or the content of your friends. The ability to play RSS feeds directly as a playlist is a huge plus. Hook it up to a Facebook “Friends’ Postings” lets you stream what your friends are watching. Adding an iTunes RSS feed gives you the latest and greatest music videos. Embeddable widgets that can contain RSS playlists may be a huge plus for bloggers, myspace, and facebook. With Google recently expanding its adsense program to support related ads for embedded videos, it would be a logical next step to monetize with Google Ads.
