Geocoded YouTube videos

I had a look at adding videos to worldinpictures.org this morning. YouTube looked like a good source for these and offers a limited API to get hold of them.

Unfortunately the grand total of geotagged videos at present on YouTube is... 38. Admitedly it wouldn't make a lot of sense to geocode many of the videos on there, but I thought there might be a few more.

Howdy

I think one problem has been that videos are not single locations. We thought of this concept and just built an add-on to YouTube which allows geocoding of the video while it is playing. Still beta but the concept has been pretty cool (just had to re-build it unfortunately due to new hosting site).
