BBC FTW

I was searching YouTube a couple of weeks ago for some footage of Lyre Birds, as you do, and found that BBC Worldwide have a YouTube account full of some of the best of the Beebs output. They don't allow embedding, but it's a start. Very forward thinking of them, for such a huge and bureaucratic institution. I guess in such a large organistaion there are always going to be both forward and backward thinking people. Well done anyway, auntie. (I'm starting to sound like The Guardian, aren't I.)

Following that, even better news, the BBC Trust has given the nod to the BBC iPlayer. With cross platform support, including GNU/Linux promised in two years. They were going to use DRM on Windows so how are they going to work that on an open platform?

Channel 4 on demand ("4oD") already online. Warning: it tries to embed Spyware, my Spybot caught it.
