Hi folks -- Happy Bastille Day! Here's the wikipedia entry on the holiday, its history and significance.
Thus ends the educational portion of this entry. Here's the fun bit: Below is an embedded YouTube video that's tangentially related to the French holiday, as it features a new way to solve everyday problems inspired by French national team soccer player Zinedine Zidane, and his famous headbutt in this year's World Cup final:
But wait, you say -- forget about that silly video -- how do I embed the YouTube video player into my Journal?
Well, I'm not going to tell you.
That's because Journals Editor Jeff just did an entry about this very thing; check out Embedding YouTube Video In Your AOL Journal in his Pixel Pusher blog.
(Also see blogger John's embedded video -- he chose a video featuring cats.)
YouTube is one of many social video sharing sites out there -- AOL's own version is AOL UnCut Video, which we'll be talking about more in the coming days.
As regular folks get more comfortable creating and sharing their own content (not just words, but photos, audio, video and more), social media sharing sites are going to get more and more popular.
Of course, it's also fun to just watch.
Thanks -- Joe

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.
YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.
Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.
