Personally I don't find these new features as exciting as the first ones. It is very much possible that I miss some use cases so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I think all interface elements could done in plain HTML, a "YouTube for virtual machines" with create, embed, and simple controls would be both useful and understandable. I find the chat and drag/drop a bit of a duplicated effort and it is anyway orthogonal to the main functionality.
With all that, best of luck with your next iterations and looking forward to trying it out.

- lkozma 16y agoOk, it is not obvious from the video but it seemed that the chat functionality is built into your system and it seems like some JavaScript-based GUI similar to Meebo. It might be easier to let people copy/paste and send a link to each other via whatever chat they are already using. Implementing a chat system seems like a distraction here. Again, I can only speculate about the actual system, so maybe there's no point for me to suggest features until I can actually try out a first version.
- pkrumins 16y agoOh, it actually is JavaScript. But I still don't understand why it should be plain HTML?
