It may not get the traffic YouTube does just yet but uploading your flicks to MSN Video can get you great visibility.

I don’t get a look in on YouTube (who wants to see the 2007 race?) but I am Number 2 on Live Search Video!

Other Stories, Video 1 Comment

Victoria Derbyshire on 5 Live has just interviewed three blokes who replicated the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach using a camera and and some wicked digital smoke and mirrors - the video is quite fantastic, and shows up the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan which employed over 1000 extras and probably cost a whole bucket of cash!

The Royal Channel - Queen Hits YouTube!

Video 2 Comments

And we’re not talking Freddie, Brian, John & Roger here!

Following on from my post yesterday about hordes of us shopping online during the Queen’s speech, her highness has reacted by launching her own channel on YouTube.

The Royal Channel already has 8k subscribers, and shows herself is adapting to changing times by reaching out to the yoof of our nation, and giving all 3.7m of us who will be rudely bargain-hunting online while she’s on the box, a chance to catch her thoughts at our own convenience.

I hear she’s considering Facebook, Twitter and Windows Live Messenger chats next :)

I’ve just nearly vommed into my curry watching their new vid for Children In Need on BBC1.

Come on Beeb!

Is it really appropriate to have five 50 fifty-year-old, talentless oafettes, writhing around in various states of undress, and miming ever so badly, representing your magnificent efforts for a kids charity?

Methinks not! - Wonder how long before it’s up on YouTube?

Personally I think this version’s much better - Who is she?
