You Tube Addictions

I admit, I have been a You Tube addict for quite some time.  If it weren't for this project, I'd probably be looking at videos right now.  The amount of hits the site generates a day is testament to the fact that I'm probably not the only person with a You Tube yen.  

Apple and Amazon are now partnering with Google/You Tube to add a "Buy it now" button on certain videos.  I shouldn't be surprised, but I am a little sad.  I guess I could just ignore the blatant attempt to manipulate the public in buying more "stuff", but I can't help being a little resentful.  It is pretty much the same feeling I got when commercials began to creep up before the previews at movie theaters.  Boo!
