The OP Theatre

Ok here is one, let me break it down, (I'll try so all can get the full picture)
We have sites like youtube, metacafe, vimeo, ustream, there has to be a way to merge with a script from these sites, like you do facebook.
Pac you can figure this out I know you can.
We can have a section here on OP that plays random videos by OP members that have videos, you have an account there on youtube.
Is there a way to intergrade all the sites mentioned above?
There is a que playlist the plays videos in an order, but random would be better.
Maybe poets can send there videos to an email account, we can pick them up upload to youtube, and set the playlist as the theatre, but the playlist will be the same always to all, the random idea would be better, so a script would need to be created.
Ok here is another idea merge accounts with youtube, like you do facebook.
There is space open on our pages that can be filled with friendlists from youtube, and personal playlists, subsriptions, and so on.
There are millions on youtube, this is just one flood gate I have found.
So what do you all think, do you think we need a poets theatre,
Poets can send in poems videos, teachers can send lessons, anything about poetry.

The uploads would need to be screened before going to the random played theatre.Also on the theatre page you can add a banner exchange, affilliates program and so on, random poet/poem also.

So what do you all think?

RE: The OP Theatre

great idea WS,,,,,yes there is a way to do all that.........first they need to design a better text editor for your post, that include youtube and all those others....I have those features on my wordpress site......you can take a link form one of them and click the icon and insert the video or music write into the post.....not sure what kind of editing system they use here......also, they could create a page here just for videos, even if it is a forums page just for members videos.....those that might want to just zone out and think can go to the videos page and just relax with the music........for me music inspires me to write a lot....love your idea.........also, one more thing.....I have on my site a plug-in which will allow you to share your work with facebook, twitter, and many more....I am sure they can find a plug-in that would work her as well......and I will stress this point......poets love to display there work in certain designs and styles, and I think we need a better text editor that will allow us to do that better......presentation is just as important as the words sometimes......thanks WS for this great idea.....love ashacool smiletongue winkred face

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
