...to post more. In recent weeks I have decided that I need to post more ramblings to the blog. Yes, I'll still litter it with inane links and embeds to videos hosted on the new Google-owned YouTube but I'll hope to proffer some thoughts alongside them.
Talking of last night's announcement, I've just written this piece for the Digital Home blog about Google's latest shopping spree.
My view:
It won't make much difference.
It might be easier to share videos via blogs.
It's a lot of money.
And to celebrate, here are my two favourite YouTube videos. Yes, they're 1980s TV ads. But watching the staples of the BBC's 1980s Saturday night TV schedules make fools of themselves? Priceless.
The Austin Rover ad is as funny as it is lame, but it's the Inter City ad that is my absolute favourite. Possibly because the Inter City 125 is even worse a service than it was then. The ad sells the fact the train is good for business travel ("a world you can work in"), then cuts to a man in a smoky carriage using a solar-powered calculator. Genius.
"I've got lots more cars to show you"
"An excitingly different world"
