Et tu YouTube

YouTube content has grown so quickly that I find I am linking to it despite the often poor image quality of their files. Big investors including AP and the Financial Times are now reportedly "sniffing around" the site.

Right now big business can't decide whether to co-opt the site (a la MySpace) or take umbrage at its success. While some studios are using it to seed programming, others - like Saturday Night Live, for example - reject the idea that people might be watching their TV clips on their computer screens.

MySpace great concept alas the site runs like rubbish.

True, poor quality, but a good guerilla site. I'm sure you've seen French & Saunders as opera divas butchering Kylie's "I Should Be So Lucky"?

I watched the Dawn French "Big Time Sensuality" you linked the other day. Inspired.

Poor quality? You're just jealous because your exclusive music video linking game is up.

Eat it, Flea!
