Abstract

What is it? Jukebomb.me is meant to be used at private parties to collaboratively watch youtube videos. Go to http://www.jukebomb.me to see it in action. You can queue new youtube videos, or use the shake function on your phone to make the running video go away! You can also send messages to the page, that everybody can read your thoughts about the videos.

What is the meaning of "Juke Bomb"? According to urbandictionary.com: An act of social terrorism that culminates in the art of singing a song with the full intention of infecting listeners brains for the remainder of the day with a melody that won’t go away short of lobotomizing surgery.

What's behind the scenes? The smartphones connect to the webpage using the XMPP-protocol. We used the smack library on the Android side and the strophe library for the web page.
