Gaia, the popular anime virtual world, has added a new feature that lets you bring online videos into your Gaia world

What company is offering:
Gaia, the popular anime virtual world, has added a new feature that lets you bring online videos into your Gaia world. The new tool is called Gaia VJ, and it lets you collect web videos to create your own channel of streaming content. This acts in a similar manner to online video aggregators that were oh so popular this year.
How It Works:

Gaia VJ is pulling content from the major video-sharing networks, including YouTube, Metacafe, EyeSpot, iFilm and Break. It’s own collection system has a bit of networking itself: you can find content by checking out playlists that other users have already created. Built on Adobe Flex, it’s pretty easy to make playlists.

You can search by video-sharing network, or keyword. A preview of the clip will play to the right, and just drag the clips you’d like in your playlist to the bottom of the screen. Once you’ve created your playlist, there’s an option to view it directly in a private cinema.

What’s fun about Gaia’s implementation of its VJ video aggregation feature is that it exists within the virtual world of Gaia. So once you’ve got your channel of video content, you can play it in your own, virtual private cinema. From there you can invite friends to join you, and then chat it up with each other for real-time commentary while the videos play on. And for those of you that have always wanted to throw tomatoes or popcorn at the screen when something really sucks, now you can, with Gaia VJ.
