Channel4 Partner with YouTube

October 15th, 2009

Two internet TV stories in one day, whodathunkit?  Channel 4 in the UK have announced that they’re going to start putting all their content on YouTube.  That’s got to be some kind of coup for YouTube as Channel 4 is actually a public service broadcaster, it’s also a good thing for UK internet users in general as YouTube’s dominance makes it a good distribution mechanism.

Cnet is reporting that Channel 4 aim to have a huge amount of their back catalogue on line by 2010, which in turn is a huge amount of TV.

It doesn’t look like the content will work outside the UK, without the usual VPN malarkey.  There’s no mention of 4oD, Channel 4’s on demand service going away, but it’s safe to assume that it will – so time for another TunerFree update then Martin!

THE best search engine

August 11th, 2009

search engine compare Ok folks it’s time to decide, which is the best search engine.  Bing the new commer, Yahoo the old timer that’s been kicked into high gear by Bing or Google the “verbatization” of which has made it the default search for most of the world, ala “I googled you”.

Don’t believe the hype (in the words of Public Enemy) and make your own mind up with this handy little tool.  It lets you compare the results from the three and, well, make up your own mind about it.  Every search I’ve done so far has been best through Bing.
