Thanks Nats… yea i guess it completely slipped out of my mind to link the article when i mentioned that TechCrunch was at Videocracy – was in a hurry – thanks for pointing it out i thought i had linked it.
P.S.
Dont think TechCrunch said anything about YouChoose or collaboration – give us that much credit :p – thanks again – its feedback like this that helps us improve our quality and in some cases reminds us about things we need to do – which we may have thought as “already done”. Hope ur enjoying WATBlog.

Thanks for the comment Rupesh – however im not so sure our WATShow example fits in too well because these guys are using the same content – content that is synergistic.

I was looking at collaboration of content from sources all over the world – a work in progress kind of thing where people collaborate on a single topic to make a final product – content is created from all over the world. Imagine a Video based Wikipedia – where a documentary on the Taj Mahal for example can be made using videos from all over. That is true collaboration in my opinion. Keep in mind however that in video there has to be 1 single driver of the look of the film to ensure that it is viewable – so thats where it is a little different from text.

Even, I feel that there is need of collaboration in youtube. Just notice it in our case i.e. http://www.WATShow.com … we always want to put videos from different users (sooraj, dagli, aamer .etc.) under a common channel which is not possible currently…
