Title: you think a Youtube like page only about Bodybuilding and Fitness has a future?
Post by: Stark on August 26, 2008, 09:39:46 AM
Its my next big project, I'm well ahead and think I can have it fully running and working in a week or before.

It's going to be a page just like youtube but called youbodybuilding.com

You will be able to upload your movies create profiles avatars upload movies directly from youtube by just copy pasting the links into
youbodybuilding.com.

As far as I know there is not a similar page out there.

Stay tuned.

a 100% not.
I know how things work, but my talent is to organize things there are way better people out there and I use them (via pay) to get
things going.

I'm an entrepreneur even if I hate the word but I am constantly looking for the one webpage nobody has done before, I think this could
be it.
It will run on a VPS not very powerful but enough for a start if the page gets big I will switch to dedicated.

the difference is that you will not be able to upload you or other movies, my page will be very convenient you drop the link in a form click submit and the movie is on the frontpage people can comment send pm's create profiles and so forth.

Its a youtube-social networking script.

but god sometimes I wish I would be fluent... the things you can do when you have the understaning of php ruby and so forth.

I know this indian coder who simply makes 75$ per install of ffmpeg-php... and he does that in less than 30min if the server is healty.
He does it beside his normal job easy peasy.

http://www.ironscene.com/ (http://www.ironscene.com/)

There IS a page like that. I can't remember the name of it as I don't visit it anymore but it's been done.  It's basically youtube exclusively for bodybuilding vids.

I think it's a damn good idea.  If it's restricted to just bbing though, I think it could get out of hand real fast by way of sexualization.  Include weightlifting and strongman and try to encourage people to make it about sports/art and you're good to go.

Yes I have thought about the "sexualsation" but i think that would be something we have to deal with IF this page #
ever takes off and becomes very busy.
But by than I have move the page to a dedicated server anyways, and that leave me open for more possibilities.

No. the site is http://www.mymusclevideo.com/

They 'only' have 2530 videos.  Remember, bodybuilding has a relatively small audience and for fans serious enough to patronize the sport watching it is as important as the outcome of the contests.  Accordingly, the quality of the vids would be important if you want to do something new.  I think Repetrope and USA muscle have set the standard in that regard.  If your proposed site used High Definition Quicktime videos as opposed to Flash that might--just might--make it different enough to get noticed.

Check out the quality of these HD vids.  For the first two links scroll down and hit the blue HD 720p button (these links require that you have QT installed)

Again thanks for the information, I don't think I have the resources to have a Quicktime enabled page you need a lot of Size for that.
haha it's always funny how I'm so sure that I had a good idea and than i need to talk to a couple of people to pop that bouble over my head to get me back to the ground ;D
