Boyz: tell me what do u think

So,
I have made this site as a personal project for now. You will be the lucky few to take a look at it in ints pre-beta stage.
The site gathers all videos from arabic news sources and allows u to watch them in the same place without having to go through the hastle of looking for them .

This is the temporary linke for the site , It doesn't have desgin yet


The video sources that are being gathred are so far
Alajzeera and BBC arabic. I'm going to include alaan tv.
You can suggest any news source u want.

let me know what do u think and if you would use it for your own pleasure ,,,,

I think it's a brilliant idea
but what is the choice of videos decided by? your personal preference?
and definitely i think there has to be at least a third source (i don't know which)

- The videos are automatically collected from their sources.
I will set it in the future to do regular checking so the videos are avilable as soon as they are posted on their original website.
- I will include a 3rd source but if u know any other website with news clips in arabic please let me know.
- also would u use it for ur personal use?

in response to your last question: no i wouldn't use it simply because the internet here is still so slow that watching videos online is not a common practice. I would only watch things on tarahaat or links people recommend because I know it will be worth the wait, but I wouldn't 'browse' videos.

I meant the effort in the first place, but since no effort is required, then I think it's fine. Usually that's the weakness of any project, availability of time and sustainability. But the second thing, since it's just a pool of videos, you won't intervene and highlight and show your own opinion on some of the clips?
