YouTube and Link TV are hosting Hacks/Hackers in San Francisco for a first-person look at innovative news projects using YouTube’s API.
Please make sure and RSVP here on the Meetup event to get in, as we need a complete attendee list for the security checkpoint at Google's SF office.
Link TV recently launched Link News (
http://news.linktv.org ), an international news website that sifts through YouTube’s library of news content to deliver breaking news and hidden stories to a wider audience. The beta site uses powerful new tools, like YouTube’s API, to link visitors to videos and articles from a variety of news sources around the world.
Funded by the Knight Foundation, Link TV also conducted research for the site with 16- to 25-year-olds around their news media habits. A white paper of findings will be released at the event.
YouTube and their developer partners will also demo other new web applications built using their API. The presentations will start with YouTube API overview, followed by the demos of:
YouTube Direct is an open source user generated content video submission and moderation platform
Storyful was founded by journalists to discover the smartest conversations about world events and raise up the authentic voices on the big stories.
Storify lets users make stories using social media. With Storify you can drag and drop tweets, YouTube videos, Flickr images, Facebook updates, ... and add your own narrative to tell a story.
Shortform is a new social entertainment medium, delivering continuous channels of the best videos from anywhere on the web, curated by our community of video DJs (VJs)
GoAnimate was founded to provide an outlet for everyone's creative ideas. In just 10 minutes, one can make fun animated videos without having to draw.
Speakers will include Olivia Ma, YouTube's news manager, and Jarek Wilkiewicz, YouTube developer advocate.
Drinks and snacks are being provided by Link TV and Google.
