Chime.TV: Joost up your browser with YouTube videos
Nothing to special about that. Chime.TV is hardly the first site to scrape together user-submitted videos from multiple sources. But what is special is the interface.
When you visit Chime.TV, you're presented with a list of "channels" on the left. Click a category and a playlist will be created, with one video after another playing in the tiny window in the middle. Or create your own playlist by typing a search term in the box at the bottom.
Click on the tiny window and the video gets larger. But things really get interesting when you click the fullscreen button. Because they really mean full screen. If you didn't know any better, you'd think you had exited your web browser and loaded a new video. But this is all just part of the flash interface.

No full-length TV episodes here (at least legally). For that, you'll still want to try Joost, which has partnered with content owners like Viacom and CBS.
