Videos certainly deserve to be more tightly woven into the fabric of the Web but my first interaction with the Popcorn-produced video did not end well.
The article gave a link to a TED video remixed with Popcorn so I decided to see it in action. Shortly into the article a Wikipedia article popped out and having hesitated for a few seconds I decided to click on it ... just as it disappeared off the screen. Nevermind, right afterwards a link came up to some frog. Intrigued, I clicked on it and a new tab opened with an amusing Youtube video of a frog attacking an iPhone. The related video was about a bird playing dead, then a Chinese soldier failing to throw a grenade, an amazing goal being scored, a fight... What the original video that I'd set out to watch was about I've still no idea.
- samstave 14y agoThe "related" videos are likely from youtube's shit related videos system. Youtube, while the largest - is a fucking nightmare of a service. HORRID buffering, zero relevance with videos, spammy ad overlays etc... Stop focusing on youtube lack of everything and focus on the fact that this idea is a BRAND NEW service that looks like in a years time will kick everythings ass.
