Subtitles 2.0

Finally I came up with the idea of a new Subtitles representation, named in a fancy style:
Subtitles 2.0
So, what is Subs2.0?

This is a improvement of web-based video, allowing it to include any type of additional information in real-time: text, pictures, links, books etc.


Now I see Subs2.0 features like that:

-Platform-independent, flash-based

-
Fully customizable text in "old subs" mode: size, colour, font

-
New subs mode - side panel, not attached, but being a part of a video, filled with any type of information, connected with video.

-
Socialize. Anyone can make Subs2.0 to any video. e.g., the creator of the video made no subs, or only english ones. Now anyone can create new subs.

-
Simple web subs tool, allowing users to make new subs fast and fancy.



What's that for?
Basically this pushes educational videos to the completely new quality level.
Imagine a professor, reading a video-lecture, and you can see all formulas and texts in a side-panel, he mentions a book and in that moment you see a link to the library web-site.
You may fill that panel with live examples of smthn that goes up in the lecture.

Main idea Downloadable and free, maybe--but the schoolhouse Wiki revolution will have to wait
But really I don't get what wrong and actually from my point of view it's just like "last drops of the water from the tube that already closed"
