100% ACK. I find it occassionally useful to share links to some
youtube music videos with my friends, but for that XMPP (and
xmpp-based microblogging service that can also be accessed via
ATOM/RSS) and then youtube-dl+mplayer work just fine, i do not need
any other "fascinating" aggregation service.

As to the flash-based/using services in general (even as a PoC) i can
only echo it once again: it'd be nicer if those devs just went and
hugged their girls instead as it would have at least some potential at
making this world better, imho.
