Good lad. Awesome feature.

This is a technological revolution. I'm heading over to Buckingham Palace to kill the Queen and take over the country.

Just YouTube at the moment, I may add Google Video or whatever in June after my uni work is over.

What about RedTude and xvideos.com?



I noticed a bit on xvideos saying that their videos can be embedded, which I presume is computer-speak for 'can be see on websites what want them'.
