For those of you that may have missed it, a few weeks back, Conan O’Brien, on his Tonight Show sketch called “In the Year 3000,” predicted that in the future, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook would merge and create “one super time-wasting site called ‘YouTwitFace’.” 1 week later, the folks at Youtube made this prediction a reality with the launch of new functionality that allows users to automatcially “share” new video uploads across FB and Twitter.

Long, long ago, YouTube was 4:3 only. Then the age of widescreen came and so they changed everything to 16:9. This left many videos in a square peg oblong hole situation (as in the video just doesn’t fit the player window properly). So here are a few ways that you can change the aspect ratio on your YouTube videos and NOT have to re-upload.

Mogulus, which always sounded to me like a beast from the Jabberwocky along with the jub-jub bird and the Bandersnatch, is no longer. Well it is, however it has been slain through and through and risen up from its own ashes, a la the Phoenix, to become LiveStream. A far more descriptive name if you ask me.

Someone recently dropped me a line to tell me that Vimeo was better than YouTube. Me, being the easy-going guy I am, said “OK.” Of course this might have been a clever plot on their part to get me to check it out for one reason or another. Again, I’m easy-going, so I did.
