YouTube Fast Search lets you create Playlists Dynamically
Youtube search feature is a little slack, I was wondering when they will let us search videos while a video is still playing.
YouTube Fast Search is a great web application built on the YouTube’s API lets you play videos and search for new videos at the same time. You could also built a playlist from search results and add new videos to the playlist without interrupting it. Asides from the dynamic search, the nice drag and drop interface goes well with the concept.
