YouTube on ABC/NBC

There have been words saying YouTube can potentially destroy the mainstream media and I tend to agree. The reality seems to be the opposite. YouTube has started various partnership with the big TV stations, and I have seen a couple TV shows (Leno, Good Morning America) with their special YouTube segments. I guess YouTube owns all the user-uploaded videos, and can sell them for big bucks.

On Leno, they showed a clip ripped from Japanese TV. While I enjoy J-TV a lot, I don’t get how this is legal on national television.

What annoys me the most is 9 out of 10 of the clips they pick are old, forwarded, IM’d and dugg.

(I don’t feel like updating this site anymore. Don’t be surprised if it gets abandoned in the future. Meanwhile, I have started working on myfullname.com, but it will mainly serve as a portfolio.)

  • Check out this episode of Inside the Net with Amber MacArthur, in which she interviewed David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails. (0)
  • LOST Figures @ Comic Con: These (1, 2) figures look soooo neat. Me want! (0)
  • VanUE: A great community for UI enthusiasts in Vancouver. I have been to their talks before, and I found them very interesting and informative. Can’t wait for the next one. (0)
