Youtube API scripts are easily obtained (some free/open source and some for little cost) and for this reason reflects the budget of this project.
We are looking for a 100% automated solution where a web visitor can create their own website (as a subdomain) to submit YouTube videos. The idea is to build on YouTube to easily promote niche videos which is otherwise difficult to do due to the millions of video uploads on youtube each day.
The basic features are:
* User login and registration system
* User registers a subdomain (say for example, similar to [login to view URL] in such instance) - we suggest wildcard DNS and detect with htaccess/php - and to choose a main category for their website
* User can share YouTube videos (other sites perhaps also) either ones they like (third party) or their own from a YouTube channel
* Each user can tag and categorise each video - many users may have the same video
* The site to embed youtube videos and obtain description etc. through the API - no downloading videos etc.
* The site to have its own commenting system per video a few levels deep NOT using youtube comments or facebook comments
* The site to track popular viewed videos and to display on the main website the popular videos and also the popular sites
So effectively REGISTRATION VIDEO SITE YOUTUBE API COMMENTS CACHE
It would be a good idea to message for further information if the above is confusing - in short its a service website where users can create their own video sites from the youtube api. Its not designed to replace but to compliment YouTube and allows better grouping of and promotion of videos, whilst adding a commenting system less likely to be trolled or spammed.
Please have past experience. We require a fully functioning prototype on your hosting before releasing funds.
We are a group of computer science students at Harvard called Crimson Coders and we can complete this website for you in under one week. It sounds like an exciting project and we look forward to working with you.
