there's nothing restricting it to porn except for the fact that porn is one of the only types of video that humans tend to watch without desire for context. it's not as often that you find someone lining up 100 tv shows in a row, watching 10 seconds, and then skipping to the next. i intend to to use the technology in the future (on a different site) to give a `gist` of a style of film. so you would choose "show me what noir film looks like" and you could just skip through clips real fast to learn.
i agree, there's plenty of room for improvement. i spent about a month building the player, and it's my first project in Flex. i am however keeping track of all the clicks, which i can use to provide natural ranking later.
agreed, i could really benefit from a UI designer... unfortunately i build and design all by myself, and my design aesthetic isn't necessarily simple/obvious.

I don't think that's true, it's a great concept for other topics as well. For example, I enjoy tech talk videos, it would be nice to have an app like that for lazily looking at new and random stuff. There should be other areas where a lot of videos are sifted through in search for random nuggets, like cooking videos, and stuff like that. Youtube playlists just don't cut it... > i agree, there's plenty of room for improvement. I didn't mean to be overly critical, I like both the idea and the simplicity of the design very much. Any improvements would at best be incremental and very small.
- handler 16y agoyeah, i guess when you think about it... people just sit in front of the tv and flip through the channels until they see something they like. though i would argue that the main cause of that is due to commercials. if you're interested in trying to rig this up for a different purpose (cooking vids, etc...), i'd be game to try it out. it really wouldn't take much code-wise. shoot me an email.
- sbisker 16y agoCome to think of it, a friend of mine was asking me for a site just like this, for movie trailers. I looked around and found there was no such site for movie trailers (that I knew of). So, you could be the first, if you were so inclined. :)
