Here's a little quick tip (of course I always say that just before writing 1000 words about it) that I discovered yesterday to show you how you can embed YouTube's newest version of their embeddable video player which more closely matches the newest player on YouTube.

And when you're trying to make some noise amid all the hoopla that ...
Light, the opposite of dark. Without one there cannot be the other. Of course, without light there is also no good videography as lighting is key. So what happens when there isn't enough light to shoot web video properly? Must you live with poor quality, bad color and lack of detail? NO!
So Firefox crashed and I lost the first version of this article. That will teach me for composing in the online editor and not in notepad like normal. Anyway, short and to the point is what you're going to get today as I can't type properly and Firefox hates me...BAD FIREFOX!
It seems like just yesterday that YouTube announced that they had hit 24 hours of video content uploaded per minute. Last Wednesday, YouTube announced that they have now hit a whopping 35 hours of video uploaded every minute.
