Why Doesn't YouTube Offer This?

I was looking at some video of Dennis Kucinich to post this morning and found YouTube's apparently-extensive sharing functionality...I can Digg, post to MySpace, Facebook and others, but not the Google-owned property, Blogger.

WTF?

This is is kind of surprising that it's not easier to take a video on a site they own and seamlessly put it into my blog. Heck, Clipmarks, which I use here often, is easier!

YouTubeGoogleCNN Calls GOP Candidates' Bluff

Since Jester-candidates Ron Paul, John McCain (yep, he's off the major candidate speed dial) and Tommy Thompson had agreed to the September GOP version of the CNN/YouTube debate, the organizers are pledging to reschedule it.

The main candidates primarily cited "scheduling conflicts" so if that's the case, surely an agreeable time can be found.

This is an only-mildly bit of interesting theater.  Everyone knows that it was not really a scheduling conflict that kept them out of it.  While I don't think the format was all that wildly-innovative or different (CNN still filtered the questions, so who 
cares who actually verbalizes the questions!),  it was clever for CNN to try and toy around with them a bit.

Pot Meets Kettle

The recent billion-dollar lawsuit that Viacom filed against YoutubeGoogle recently gets more interesting now that folks realize that Viacom's iFilm appears to have its own share of copyrighted material it does not own.

Hilarity ensues.
