Have you come across Vidiowiki - http://www.vidiowiki.com/ - a video based knowledge network? At the moment Vidiowiki is a public engagement tool aimed at researchers but there may be the option to expand this to the wider science communication community. It is very easy to use and you can upload files/add links as well as record video e.g. if an academic gives a brief talk about their research, they can then upload PDFs of relevant articles for further reading. There are some excellent search algorithms that link people and research areas, and it tracks how popular videos are and highlights them accordingly. It should also be possible to integrate this with other websites e.g. the Collective Memory. Is anyone interested in this? I'd be happy to follow this up if it would be useful. On a more general note, Vidiowiki is open to researchers from any discipline at any institution so feel free to upload any relevant videos.
