Didn't care for the music, but the application is great! My hyperactive brain was led to another site that is so web 2.0! and ridiculously easy! Love this one!
YouCube is a project put together by Aaron Meyers. It allows the user to map YouTube videos onto an interactive 3D cube and then save it to a database so you can share with others. As you spin around a YouCube, the sounds of the different videos fade in and out.
To see an example of the functionality click here to watch "In the News". The key to a good listening/watching experience is to allow sufficient time for all the videos to properly load. Then it's really fun. Students will have a blast with this because it feeds their fractured, hyperactive attention span. Many adults would find it too distracting. I have spent enough time on the Internet that it feels right!
Easy to use: Just copy & paste URLs from 6 different but related videos on YouTube. Then you can share your creation out to the world with a distinct URL.
Visit the YouCube page and make your own...Here's one I made for Evernote.

Love it. I can see me getting kids t create book trailers based on genres, posting to my Youtube channel, and then making genre youcubes. Thanks for sharing.
The only drawback with the application is that you need to wait 5 - 10 min. for all 6 videos to load properly. Once that is done, it's way cool. Glad you like YouCube!
