Youtube of an rss reader I built 3 years ago. (youtube.com)

I wanted to post this because some of the features are something i'd like to see in some of the new rss readers that are being built. I still use it and have enhanced it since then, but not as much as I'd have liked. It's become what I like to call my reference project for learning new languages and such. I first built it back in 2007 in asp and sql server, then moved to asp.net. The version in the video is built under LAMP with a python rss importer. It's also a single page web app getting all data via calls to an api. I started rebuilding it in ruby a while back but never found the time to complete it. also if your interested I chronicled the work I did on a blog, http://www.tubejumper.com/
