One of the most popular pages on my blog is the YouTube comments suck one, so obviously people are bothered by it and since my independent, ranty blog is still getting traction from moaning, no one is doing anything about it.

Essentially, it’ll be cool to make a new website based around the community rather than the videos. Using the YouTube API, and maybe the Disqus API, I think it’d be pretty easy to make a better place. It wouldn’t be a rip of YouTube — that’s against the API terms — but so long as there’s a definite focus on the conversation about videos, I think it’d be okay.

Also, I’d like to pull comments from reddit and other places that have an API for comments on articles onto the page for the video. Maybe news articles if the video has any related stories. A general mashup of information about the video you’re watching.
