    PlaceChannel.com - Find YouTube Videos by Location

    placechannel

    Geography. Perhaps back in your grade school days, you never really gave a thought or a care as to where so and so country was on a map. Perhaps you didn’t even know that country x even existed. Well, today even if your former geographical frustrations haven’t quite remained a thing of the past you can still hone your geolocation skills without too much effort ( and have fun at that) with PlaceChannel. It combines Google Maps and Youtube videos. Basically, you can search for videos by country. Thus you’ll be able to get a better sense of what’s what, and where’s where, simply by watching videos. Of course, it’s also rather interesting as an assessment of the types of videos generated from certain world regions. Using it is easy. Either move your Gmap around till you find a location or use the search bar. From there, PlaceChannel will display any videos in the area with a camera symbol. You can also submit your own videos without having to register

    In their own words

    “Videos from every corner of the world”

    Why it might be a killer

    Geography and mapping technology have become really noteworthy of late. The world wide web after all, opens up portals to each and every corner of the earth. Classifying content via location is interesting for the sheer number of things it tells us about places different from the ones in which we live. It’s informative, exotic and fascinating.

    Some questions

    How will this site gain traction? Currently, there aren’t a grand selection of videos available
