What is LastTube? Basically LastTube is a Mashup
What is a Mashup? From Wikipedia: A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.
LastTube uses content from Last.fm and YouTube. You can watch Youtube’s content based on your Recently Listened Tracks scrobbled to Last.fm. (Isn’t cool? 
)
You can try it here: LastTube: Last.fm Meets Youtube This is a Beta version (beta means many bugs realeased soon to final users ). Flash Player 9 required, you can download flash player here.

Technical Details, Features and Constraints
Motivation: Create a “useful” client mashup using Flex 2 and public Web Services and RSS feeds in only one day without write any custom server side code.
Total development time: One day (Includes coding, testing, googling and lunch time )
Number of Developers: Just Me.
Server Side Code Created: None
Data Feeds, Web Services and Web Sites Involved: Last.fm, YouTube, Yahoo Pipes, Google Analytics.
Programming Languages and Tools Used: Actionscript 3, MXML, Javascript, Flex Compiler.
Known Issues: Sometimes Firefox “freezes” after video playing. Flash Video that doesn’t have complete metadata can “crash” the app.
Lessons Learned: Datatipfield doesn’t work “perfectly” with xml datasources. Handling Flash Video Metadata is a little bit “tricky”. ExternalInterface Rocks!

Greetings from Colombia. Keep Flex-coding!!

Did you have any problems w/ yahoo pipes. I developed issues w/ domain security issues and the xml data
Comment by josh — May 19, 2007 #
Hi josh. Yes there are some problems with domain security…
this domain doesn’t have a crossdomain.xml
http://pipes.yahoo.com/
instead you should use:
http://pipes.yahooapis.com/
that crossdomain.xml allows acces from any other domain.
