Videobomb combines aspects of the news site digg.com and the bookmarking site del.icio.us to make a democratic playground for video. People can submit videos and vote (“bomb”) their favorites onto the front page. Your favorites go to your own personal channel, that your friends can watch in players like DTV or iTunes.
We know you all have a top 5 favorite, most-mind-blowing-of-all-time videos. Pandas. French kids jumping off roofs. Old advertisements from lands far away. So here’s one way to get started: take 5 minutes to submit them, and see how they do. Or if you’re in a mega-hurry, just go to the “Incoming!” page and start bombing the stuff you like. Let us know how it went.
Perhaps more than any of our other projects, Videobomb is for everyone. People can participate in making TV channels (and one big, awesome TV channel) with no need for a camera, no need to download anything, etc. That’s why, more than ever, we need your help spreading the word. Blog your thoughts on it, tell a bunch of friends, post about it wherever you think there’s people who are psyched about videos and collaboration. Videobomb could be a very amazing place.
