Made something similar: http://www.pintube.tv

But, besides the self-promotion, I do agree that youtube's default logged-in feed view could be made a bit more visual and up-to-date with the trend of image-heavy UI's. Can't wait to see what updates they have coming out soon. My friend had a url to their beta UI, but can't remember what it was. Arg.

Really cool, and awesome implementation. I'm really digging the smooth transition on the infinite scroll. Also, the design and UI much better than the default bootstrap I've slapped on my app.

Has pintube gotten any traction yet?

Not sure what about this is better than Youtube itself, but I notice a feature called "Leaderboard" which I assume ties into this somehow; can you explain? Sounds like it could be interesting.

Ah the Leaderboard ;) The idea is really simple. People who are frequent watchers get rewarded with points and they show up at the top of the Leaderboard.
