Hi TV Spy,

Can you please rephrase your question?

What I think you’re asking, is if you can move content that you have on youtube and then rebroadcast it elsewhere?

If that’s the question, then the answer is yes. However, right now we are more focused on letting individual users manage their own media.

Essentially, if a user already has 50 videos on youtube, the user can drag-and-drop the files from youtube to any folder inside their Oosah account, and then can download, podcast, publish, or manage that media from within Oosah. The drag-and-drop operation seamlessly copies the actual file, not the link, to the user’s Oosah account.

On the other hand, the user doesn’t even have to move it to Oosah, the user can just rename, delete, tag, or watch videos that the user already has on his youtube account, without ever physically copying the file to Oosah.

The user can always take content from youtube and incorporate it into his slideshow, gallery, or playlist widgets, and in that scenario the file would be streamed from youtube in real-time to the final end-user.

Does it allow hotlinking of files, if so then it seems like it could have some serious potential. Imagine being able to upload a podcast on youtube then also without having to use any extra bandwidth have it hosted remotely – pulled in through a service like oosah, and able to offer it externally without having to rely on youtube – it makes it possible to allow others to publish and further distribute your work within their own medium without having to rely on them to pull the video from youtube, convert it to another format and use it etc.

[...] Remember all the press about Second Life? Seen all the press lately about social networks and Ning and Facebook and the billions in valuations and the little kid millionaires churning out widgets and launching, don’t know, personal media aggregators? [...]

There’s a bunch of sites in this space. Sticko (http://www.Sticko.com) is a good one that has the added ability to re-distribute your media to other places. It also has webcasting.

I’m just not giving login creds to anyone for anything except maybe youtube or flickr (b/c I don’t use Y!mail). Kids lack consideration today, and if you want broad appeal you have to cater to other more conservative types.

Congratulations to the Oosah team. We also launched few weeks ago http://www.ubuket.com, with similar functionality. But we packaged our concept as a virtual media player. We have preliminary versions for all major social networks and the iphone. I love to hear your feedback.

Best,

Bernardo

This is a nice development, but not as potentially powerful as SB, nor as aesthetically crisp. I tested just about all of these aggregator types over the last couple of years. This one had potential, but for my money Second Brain is the one to watch given their new upcoming release.

It is interesting however to watch the emulation by one app of another as in the slides – webslides aspect. I think that the best of these sites will be the one who gets the most user generated content and provides the most powerful interface. NO big secret huh?

Always,

Phil Butler

Thanks for the mention. I like the way they show content from the services in the folder structure – something we’re also looking into.

It’s a cool website, I checked it out. But I don’t think Google will buy it out, Its so early. Yeah but we can forget how Google buy out the then dying Blogger and transformed it to Blogger of today.

Google will probably buy it.

@2 -> This is how -> http://www.mybloop.com

Only that mybloop has no limitations. The cool thing I see about Oosah is their integration with existing services, pretty cool.

However, I tried uploading 10 songs, and I got a bunch of errors along the way.
Those that didn’t show me any error popboxes don’t appear inside “My Music”

Has anyone had luck uploading music to it.

I like their look.

Kind of hard to determine what it really is: a widget? a drag and drop interface? a social network (again)?

I’m sure it removes a narrow pain-point for a specific user segment (which is always the best way to start a new product), but I’m only wondering whether the differentiation it offers over the competing products you mentioned ( Slide et al), is strong enough for it get a good set of users fast.

@2 – or instead, would be delighted to otherwise hear, of, not the same thing?
as it’s pretty obvious that it’s the same thing!
