The site is very beta-ish, but seeing Google&#8217;s weight behind this, I fear for Yahoo!&#8217;s FlickR future (Note: Microsoft <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com\/8301-13580_3-9815963-39.html\">is still working<\/a> on a photo site like this, but obviously has this <a href=\"http:\/\/labs.live.com\/photosynth\/\">ace<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=1577\">More on PhotoSynth<\/a>) in the hand).\n<\/p>\n<p>For no particular reason, I ended up watching a whole bunch of videos about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=treadmill+cats&#038;search_type=&#038;aq=0\">&#8216;cats and treadmills&#8217;<\/a>. You would almost say it&#8217;s the latest craze: throw your cat on a treadmill, tape it, mix it with annoying music and upload it to YouTube.\n<\/p>\n<p>Also, I watched a couple of clips of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/ThatHillaryShow\">&#8216;That Hillary Show&#8217;<\/a>, a parody done by comedian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosemarywatson.com\">Rosemary Watson<\/a>: it&#8217;s actually excellent, that is, for amateur video. Not something I&#8217;d watch for hours, though, and that only because this kind of political satire wears off really fast. I hope miss Watson finds an agent and that she keeps looking for new things to make fun off.\n<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to the last checked item on my list: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gocomics.com\/glennmccoy\/2008\/05\/08\/\">This comic<\/a> should look familiar if you&#8217;re a Monty Python fan (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno\">see here for full scene<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend, I was surprised to see that Google Maps now also shows photos shot at locations (example): these photos are coming from a new service from Google, Panoramio.
