Saturday, April 11, 2009 at 12:59AM I uploaded two videos last night. One was about a story over at Mashable, called “The Hulufication of YouTube?” If you have not read it yet, you should. It talks about how YouTube plans to make YouTube more like Hulu. In case your that one person that does not know what Hulu is. Its a website that lets you watch streaming TV shows, and movies, legit. They place small commercials in the videos, to make the service free (and profitable). Evidently YouTube is not making any money off us users, so they want to add three new sections to the site, called Movies, Shows, and Music Videos, and put all the user created content, like me, in a forth section called videos. I guess it would be easier for them to sell ads in main stream shows, and movies, thus making them more money, but I think that they should be investing more in the users that made them what they are! They should make the Partner program, more open. Let anyone (within reason) in, so that the users, and YouTube can share in the profit it creates!
While I like Hulu, and I think that adding more main stream content, could be a good thing for YouTube. I hope that it does not put the user created content, in second place! httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdCo6R2kKOw The other video I made is a slideshow of a few of the pictures I’ve taken with my DSi. I think it shows off some of the fun things you can do with the two cameras. The slide show was made with a free service, One True Media. It lets you make nice looking Slideshows easy. With great looking effects, and music. You should give it a try.

There are more available than those two. I think we had 32 on launch day. When you go into the community game section, make sure you hit browse all games.
If you get a chance, feel free to send me any feedback about my game, which is called Being. (I found your site thanks to a Google alert I have set up for XNA and NXE.)
Thanks for the heads up! I have wrote a new post that explains everything, and I have been playing your game, Being. You did a good job with it, and I love the sound effects, and music. Did you create them yourself?
I can't figure out why these comments below are on here. There from an older post, but there showing up here, and not there! Errr, technology!
