If anyone knows about high bandwidth video hosting, please could you let me know. It would be interesting to have our own virtual youtube, but I am just concerned how bandwidth hungry it would be.
The latest ".net" magazine talks about this potential issue ion p.44 :
"People are often devastated to discover the costs of uploading and streaming video. If you don't have a smart deal in place, one popular video on a user generated content-based destination can send the best of companies to the kitchen where they'll be forced to do dishes for 10 years to pay off their streaming debt."

What if we repackaged some video's as Exclusive members-only video's. Ofcourse with a more fancy name to it...
Those exclusive video's would be the video's that are part of the chessworld course-system. It would also be advertised as such.
In addition to that we might give out memberships for free (as a refund) for highly ranked active annotators (video/text) with an annotation/video-annotation commitment of 3 courses, or 10 quality video's or.... They would aid in developing the chess course system.
On youtube we could show one video as a teaser to the whole course with a sidenote that if you sign up that you get access to a section of Prime video's embedded in chesscourses set up by experts. A video on youtube would show how such a course works.

Maybe propagating parts of Chessworld more as a Chess-school would attract more youtube visitors to the site.

Hi all
We have some great video annotators on youtube, and I was wondering if it might be worth trying to incentify more the youtube audiences to come to the site and register if they haven't.
One such idea would perhaps be to encourage annotators on the site (not necessarily the youtube annotators themselves) to look at the "most discussed" videos of say myself, Majnu, Canstein and other "Letsplaychess.com" tagged video annotators on youtube, and do annotations on the site, which we could then add a bit to the end of our videos to say "You can see written annotations of this and other videos on the letsplaychess.com site if you register there.".
The "Most discussed" for example on my youtube page is:
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kingscrusher&view=videos&sort=d
i.e.
This link
If any annotators on the site might be interested, please annotate some of these most discussed videos if you have time.
As far as the Puzzles are concerned - Luzhin puzzle for example, then of course the video itself could highlight we have a good interactive puzzle section, and to visit the site to try out the puzzle in interactive mode.
Feedback welcome from all
