Tiki Bar TV w/ subtitles

I just want to give some props to Dr. Tiki over there at the Tiki Bar Tv podcast. He just uploaded one of his most recent episodes "Blue Hawaiian" to dotsub.com, a place for people to upload films and add subtitles. They let you embed the films so I guess you could say that it is a youTube for the deaf and non(insert language here) speaking viewers, well as long as you can translate and upload the text.

I hope more podcasters will follow suit as many people out there would love to watch these videos but just cannot hear what is being said. To that I say Cheers and Mahalo Dr. Tiki

A message to YouTube, iTunes, and web 2.0

I'm trying to send a message to all of the video services neglecting the hearing impaired community. So I'm starting a viral campaign by posting videos on YouTube and in my podcast. If viewed enough times maybe it could make a difference, though the podcast version will only attract attention if downloaded through iTunes.

If there are more interested in this concept who would like to contribute videos I am willing to start a new podcast feed and website for the cause.

On a side note, if you are looking for closed-captioned videos on the web, check out http://www.harkle.com/ who have a search engine and listing for the like.
