I didn't realise I had to scroll this up to see videos I had sent, and so I thought it was broken. From a usability point of view, starting the bar at the right hand side, showing everything, and scaling the list back when you slide left would be much better in terms of educating your users.
Also, Instapaper nailed it with the "Saving ..." > "Saved!" language in the book mark. If you are using the name, go the whole hog and copy that - the feedback to the user that it is safely stashed on the Insta~ servers is invaluable.

Good points on the UX. Thanks. I'll make sure that gets fixed.
My post was very negative. Apart from the above, minor, details, its a great service that I hope I can use as much as I do Instapaper.
(Be even better if it could work with embedded Youtube/Vimeo on other domains, like devour.com).
Glad to hear it. Feel free to email or post any more thoughts. Good critique is always valuable.
It will work with embedded videos very soon. We're tracking down some errors in a JS DOM parsing library that the web app uses.
