Looks like a useful - and free to use - resource for the commited data analyst/researcher.

Rockpack is a free iOS app for iPhones and iPads which allows you to easily clip and organize together video clips already published online.

Similar to Flipboard and Pinterest, it provides a one-click operation to add any YouTube video to one of your video channels.

Rockpack integrates with Twitter and Facebook and it allows you to follow your favorite channels easily. A browser bookmarklet is also availanle for desktop use.

My comment: A quick way to easily create thematic video channels based on existing published material. Easy to use.

Free to use.

People are always looking for new ways to express themselves, especially online, and Rockpack provides a unique way for users to do so.

Like it.  A Flipboard for video?  Perhaps.
