The Time Machine

The folks at Chad,Matt&Rod.com have created an interactive video series which requires you, the viewer, to choose what action they trio takes in the storyline. Although there is only one ending that they guide you towards (with wrong choices leading to horrible, horrible consequences), it makes for a fun-filled half-hour.

YouTube Live

On Saturday, November 22, 2008 (tonight) at 8 P.M. EST, YouTube will host its first-ever "YouTube Live" event. It will be broadcast as a live webcast from this link and will feature numerous music artists as well as prominent YouTubers.

:::>After watching segments of it live, I would have to say that it was alright and in need of some better material/transitions to help it flow better. And the live webcast itself needs to be streamed less choppy and at a better quality. The full screen mode sometimes freezes too.

Youtube Reads You Loud and Clear

Ever wondered how others might read your Youtube comments?
A feature first "suggested" by the folks over at xkcd.com, a web comic mainly for the technologically-interested (geek?, like Ctrl+Alt+Del), has now been introduced by Youtube. The comic, shown below, mentioned how if Youtubers were aware of their posts then they would be inclined to provide better responses. Turns out Google/Youtube was listening. Now, a computerized voice reads comments aloud when the "Audio Preview" button is pressed. Neat! Yet another reason to <3 Google.

Motivation for the Unmotivated

After watching Black20's most recent News video on Youtube where it talked about Despair, Inc., I went on the company's site and found an amusing collection of motivational (or unmotivational) products. It satirizes encouragements in the workplace and in life.
