What are the best websites for co-watching videos?
I'm looking for a website/service that allows multiple people to watch the same video at the same time. Here are the requirements:
#1 - Must be able to watch the video with the ability to pause, fast-forward, rewind, etc.
#2 - Want to support multiple file types (e.g., MOV, MP4, etc.) without having to do conversion.
#3 - Must support up to 100 simultaneous viewers. Ideally more...
#4 - Must have a back-channel of some sort (e.g., text chat).
Optional (not required)
#1 - Way to quiz people on what they are watching.
#2 - Way to post messages to Twitter, Facebook, etc. from within the app (e.g., similar to UStream's SocialStream feature)
#3 - Ability to have a user pause the video and share something via audio with the rest of the group.
Would love to hear any possible options for this. Trying to figure out if one of the live streaming sites (e.g., UStream, Justin.tv, etc) would be best for this or one of the web conferencing systems (e.g., Adobe Connect, Web-Ex, GoToMeeting). Or perhaps a specialized service?
Thanks!

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
