uvLayer's video application, built on Adobe AIR, launched a couple of months ago as a downloadable application for viewing and organizing video content according to your personal preferences. Even though this looks really cool, I was concerned about uvLayer's two-step download process, as well as it's lack of accessibility as a web-based tool.
[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]uvLayer is looking to solve this with the release of a web-based application, which has the same fluid (relatively) interface and overall feel of the downloadable application. This should help uvLayer aooeal to more users that would like to utilize the service's video aggregation and organization tool. But is that enough?
There are a number of video aggregation tools, and the majority of them have a head start on uvLayer, as well as interactive social sharing tools and recommendations in terms of search and discovery for users to find more media to consume. uvLayer is making steps to address the social sharing aspect by adding integrating with IM clients including AIM and GTalk, as well as applications for existing social networks like Facebook (which uvLayer already supported).
