I had this built to scratch my own itch: I would always find videos that I wanted to watch and bookmark them. And then I'd lose them in a sea of bookmarks. Whenever I wanted to watch something, it was hard to find something that fit how much time I had. So this solves both those problems.
I say "had this built" because it was my little experiment in management. The whole thing was put together by a team of 4 (including me) and now we've launched it without me writing a single line of code. Since I'm the guy who's usually coding nonstop to launch something, it was a refreshing change and a fun experiment.
Good to know. It was my first such experiment, and it does boil down to a few core principles I wanted to apply. I'll write something up once things calm down a little bit.
Great idea, often have this problem also especially with more people linking video on twitter, Techcrunch TV etc. Will check it out but will it cache the video on my iPhone and allow me to watch it without an internet connection? I.e. what Instapaper does for me for reading.

Do you plan on writing a blog post about this? I'd be interested to read it.

I can see there being issues with this, but that is something I would love - so I could bundle up some videos to watch on my tube ride home.
My suggestion: An http://upl8.tv style interface for viewing.
Awesome! We took a slightly different route and tried to build something similiar over a Startup Weekend.
Cool. I've discovered several other apps like this in the past week or two. Is yours still up?
