Youtube websites?

As a keen twitterer (?) I click on my of the links that the people I follow tweet. This is because I follow a lot of creatives and sometimes they post very interesting and helpful things!

Today someone posted a link to an ad-agency's website, which to my surprise, is hosted on Youtube. At first I couldn't understand why or how you could host your website on Youtube but after following the link up it makes complete sense.

They use the (more often than not spammed) comments feature that you can apply to your videos and have embedded links to each comment. Each link sends you to a different video about their company and what they are about. I think this is a genius idea and something that I'm surprised hasn't been done before. The company is called Boone Oakley and have apparently also won a D&AD award for it.

Here's the link :

Perhaps this could be an avenue for my project?
