Youtube appall me yet again.

First off, I will be away from July 16th to July 18th. That's Saturday to Sunday, however I won't have time to go on the computer again until Monday.

Another little outrage from the google/youtube business. We all know that Youtube have their own blog which they post site news on. They say they listen to feedback, but that's a lie and everyone knows it. Old news.

But
recently youtube moved the blog over to a blogger one like this. It looks exactly the same, nothing's changed except the blogger toolbar at the top. Still, nothing outrageous.

But
on the blog they've been promising to put only site news on since the year dot, today, or yesterday, I don't know, you can now find a newspost called: When coronation street meets google maps on youtube. Actually, this blog post is only available in the UK, so I'll post what it says.

"YouTube, Coronation Street and Google Maps: how could they possibly come together? The answer lies with the fabled Google Street View Car, which today rolled over the most famous cobbles in Manchester with a view to incorporating shots of the soap's set into the service.

It will take a few months for the images to be processed and carefully stitched together before being incorporated into Street View on Google Maps, but for anyone who can't wait until then the Corrie team filmed the four-wheeled photographer in action:

[POINTLESS 12 SECOND VIDEO]

OK, so this is essentially a video of car driving along a road... but hey: what a road! For more Coronation Street news online, head here.

Have fun,
Jamie"

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUTUBE. IT'S PROMOTING GOOGLE.

I am sick and tired, google. If by any slim chance you are reading this news post, I beg you to sort yourselves out. Listen to us. For once.
