Hey, I'm working on a project to help users discover more interesting content on YouTube. Our channel-based recommendations allow you to search a channel and get a list of other channels making similar content, with a focus on surfacing relevant smaller and more obscure channels.

We have most of these channels mapped and I think you'll be able to discover some interesting new content on some of these lists, especially in the more niche categories of the shoe commentators and the London transport channel:

I'd recommend clicking through to Trenton & Heath's list for a more complete listing of shoe channels:

I hope some people find the tool useful. You can search channel names in the top bar or click icons in the lists to navigate to different channels' pages.

Cheers!

Error: Server Error

Please try again in 30 seconds.

Give it a reload. Google App Engine is giving random problems and an immediate reload will almost always solve the issue.

If anyone has any advice on this issue I'd love to hear it.

Oh no, not Google...

Edit. Seriously, not sure what it is but the site looks wacky. Like only partially rendering and elements out of focus and missing some borders etc. Is this planned? Not sure it's the best way to attract users....

Just put out an update on the database to correct the missing icons. As channels change icons the old links go dead. Should be back to near 100% icon coverage now.

As far as "elements out of focus and missing some borders" goes, I think this may be referring to the choice to have channel descriptions pop-up on hover in the lists rather than cluttering the screen with text. It may be something else, we do use a gray background underneath the page headline (with the channel title, subscriber count, large red "View on YouTube" button, and channel icon), for example.

Of course, we'd love to hear more feedback on the page design choices.
