YouTube

YouTube is interesting. The idea that anyone can make a video, (or capture a video for that matter) and put it on the Internet is a great idea. The talent of people out there is pretty incredible - like this video of HP clips set to 'The Sweetest Thing' - it's great. Not to mention so many of the fan-made trailers for 'Phoenix' - there are some excellent ones out there. I'd love to have a go myself, but the chance of me doing it before the teaser trailer arrives? Unlikely. As for clips-to-music, I can see people setting certain scenes from 'Half-Blood Prince' to Rihanna's 'Unfaithful'. (Confused by that? Go back, listen to the chorus and change 'he 'for 'she' - it's Harry/Ginny all over. It's a bit sad though that when I first heard the song that was the first thing I thought of.)
I have found it kind of funny that Google has bought YouTube though - they did have Google Video, but it wasn't as good, so they buy YouTube. We all do that, don't we? :)
