you could build something very advanced (theme wise) and the back end coding on top of wordpress. If it worked well and I were a videoblogger, id pay for it.


That's not a bad WordPress theme idea. But that's not at all what I'm suggesting, because...

That doesn't improve the video player interface at all.

That doesn't make metadata for videos any better.

That doesn't provide any improvements in the ability to remix video.

That doesn't offer any advantages for having multiple video bloggers on the same platform.

That doesn't add any interactivity to video.

I feel like I'm saying, "There's a ton of room for innovation and additions to the paradigm of web-based video viewing", and you're saying: "sooo... a better theme, then?"


If you believe in the idea, just go ahead and build it.

I have seen a couple of times that the idea did not make any 'sense' to me during ideation stage, but when was presented with a working application - I just 'saw' it as needed!

For certain ideas, the way they are executed matters a lot.
