Gotuit Betters Video Web

What I like to refer to as "The Video Web" just keeps getting better and better. Perhaps the state-of-the-art is Gotuit.com a new Flash-based video service which includes tons of FREE content, organized in what seems to me to be a much more useful way than the monster video sites like YouTube and Google Video. The system also provides extremely quick playback... so much so that it makes the old streaming formats look obsolete.

An informative review of Gotuit is on TechCrunch

Bush & Blair: Like a Couple of guys at a convention...

Now that TV is no longer limited to a few networks, video continues to open new doors of perception. Most recently, this little unedited clip of a chat between George W. Bush and Tony Blair at the G8 conference where the normally controlled Bush got caught being himself (including the four letter explitive). Don't they seem to be just two guys at a convention discussing the fate of our world? Only these are the heads of state who are really pulling the strings! (1 minute 31 seconds)



Bush: "See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit, and it's over." Hunh? Er, I mean, no problem. Eh? ;)

MySpace: The Newcomer Takes Charge at #1

Rarely do you see a new media property grow right past the biggest players in the game, but in the US market (at least?), the teen sensation MySpace is now bigger than Google and Yahoo with "a market share figure of 4.5% of all the US Internet visits for the week ending July 8, 2006" according to a Hitwise report reported on by TechCrunch.

Hey, MySpace is so hot, just for the experience, I created my own MySpace page. It's nice making new friends. Wanna be one? ;)
