Vote for a YouTube user to Popcorn [May 11, 2011, 2:25 p.m.]
By now, I hope you've had a chance to look at the ideas from our chat, and tried adding a picture to our example from P2PU. If not, here are those links:

What's our next step? I'm calling a vote to decide which YouTube channel could use some Popcorn interactive-ization by this class. Although YouTube isn't open HTML5 video, we do have a Popcorn.js player which will make it possible to connect any plugin to it.
Here's three channels I'd like to suggest -- you're welcome to suggest others:
- Google Earth Outreach - maps and activism, some how-to videos http://www.youtube.com/user/EarthOutreach
- Mozilla - videos explaining the internet and open web - fairly sure Mozilla would let us convert a video to a truly open format and license - http://www.youtube.com/mozilla
- BBC Worldwide - clips from Top Gear - http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=793CABDF042A9514
