We at LongTail Video are ...We at LongTail Video are currently hard at work designing plug-ins, but we need your help!
Though we’ve come up with a bunch of ideas, we want to know what plug-ins YOU want us to create. Here’s our initial wish list:
- Email Plug-in to send the video to a friend
- Embed Plug-in to generate the embed code
- Link Plug-in to generate a permalink to a video
- “Add This” Plug-in to add the Add This button to the player
- Digg Plug-in to add Digging functionality
- Surprise Me Plug-in to show a random YouTube video
- Yahoo! Video Search Plug-in to search Yahoo! Videos for content
- Google Video Search Plug-in to search Google Videos for content
- Ad Network Plug-ins to work w/ DART, YuMe, ScanScout, etc.
It’s a good list, but I’m sure there’s so much more we could do. And remember, the sky’s the limit! The plug-ins don’t necessaryily have to be end-user plug-ins, they could also be developer plug-ins. The basic rule is if you can dream up a plug-in, we’ll do our best to build it. Also, if you’ve got ActionScript 3 skills and want to design plug-ins yourself, either from this list or one of your own ideas, please email us @ plugins [a] long tail video [dot] com and we can help get you started.
So what are YOUR ideas?
WAHOO!!...first response post. How about a search functionality within the users own playlist XML's? Also how about a favorites button to build a favorite playlist on the fly as the user clicks the favorite button? Hope this helps!
