I am sure that you all remember with trepidation the day that we breathlessly reported how Internet Cosmonauts Google had launched their rocket- er campaign- to destroy TV. Of course, the problem back then was that you could only search TV transcripts (translation: the really boring text for deaf people that you get when you accidentally hit the “mute” button on that mutant Japanese remote for your Hi-Fi entertainment center).

Then we revealed that Google was accepting user-submitted uploads of video! Knowing the kind of horrible crap most people record onto their given-to-me-by-mom-and-dad-on-xmas camcorders, we trembled with anticipation: surely the next Steven Spielberg would be found!

I’ve been amazed by your cool videos. I had never seen a robot dog harassing an iguana before, or a monkey doing karate, and I had no idea you were such good dancers. There’s more than home video, too - like this UNICEF story featuring David Beckham.
