Yeah, it didn't pick up any momentum. The one I hoped someone would revive was the #hubskifilmclub. We could pick a film that's streaming free on netflix or is in full on youtube and watch it and discuss.
Oh damn oh damn, I was just about to reply to this comment and say "if you follow through with this great idea, I'd suggest using synchtube. It takes a source video, like livestream.tv or youtube and is sort of like a event hall or lobby where it's synched for everyone and there's a chat on the side. Also, no ads." but then I visited the synchtube website and realized it was down! Now I'm having a minor panic attack because I've made so many friends there, it's honestly been a huge impact on my life.
Bummer. Looks like it's gone for good. Sounds like a great idea for a site/product though.
