    Why doesn't YouTube allow you to create tag based widgets? I'm probably misinterpreting what you mean, but you can create a widget that searchs YouTube for any tags and displays the result xml feed in the widget....

    Hey Chris,

    Well, what I mean is that YouTube doesn't offer the option on their site to create tag-based widgets - the only embeds seem to be of single videos (at least, that was the case last time I checked).

    Yeah, they are usually single videos unless you put an embedded player of a playlist. (kinda like the ones I put in myMyspace profile and my Friendster one.

    Hey Swifty,

    That's really neat - I hadn't seen the YouTube embedded playlists before.
