I just realized today that YouTube has an API, which is super simple through ATOM. Unfortunately, their UI doesn't really expose this, but it is trivial to subscribe to someone's feed or someone's favorites on YouTube by simply subscribing via Internet Explorer to the correct url. For someone's feed it is:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/videos?author=username
or
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/users/[username]/uploads
For favorites it is:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/users/[username]/favorites
I need to add a little UI to Flotzam to make this easier for the end user, but the possibilities are curious...
