# except when the html doesn't work
and scroll bars don't appear, and javascript links do nothing
but other than that, it works well. They just need to work out a few bugs

# sure there's bugs
but it's still amazing

* Delivery of video on the the web that streams
* Ordinary URLs that allow for easy forwarding - hence allowing for the viral effect
* Option to download a hi-res version for playing back on PC
* Can embed on your own site, and sell ads on it
* Payment system to flog the hi-res version to people

It means people can make TV shows without a broadcaster and earn money off the production.

It's a revolution. A fucking revolution.

# we had one of those fucking revolutions a few years back.
Don't get too used to it Rob, some cunt will come along in a few years and convince you it's very bad for you.

# I thought people were already doing most of that with the ipod and such

# the difference is
* itunes forces the user the play the vids in the itunes player - an irritating jump from browsing
* google allows embedding on your own site - crucial - as it allows the content creator to earn cash from ads
* and google allows anyone to join in and play - again crucial for sucking up the small players
