Au Revoir, YouTube; Auf Wiedersehen Vlogs

Way back in December -- back in the age before the mainstream media fell in love with all things YouTubey -- we noted that European Commission hatched a plan to regulate all Web and mobile video content just like traditional television.   This means enforcing rules on hate speech, advertising and the kind of content that can be broadcast to children on all video platforms.

Finally, some are getting organized and fighting back.  As AP reports:

an alliance of British-based companies including ITV PLC, Yahoo Inc., Vodafone Group PLC, Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc.'s UK subsidiary said a European Commission proposal to impose rules for traditional broadcasters on new media providers could have "unintended consequences" and hurt investment.

The coalition continues with what should create fear in any Web 2.0 investor's heart...

"Citizen media such as blogs, video-casts and the like are one of the most exciting developments enabled by new technology. This phenomenon has the potential to create new businesses … but this proposed regulation severely risks stunting its growth."

AP notes that the law will need the backing of the European Parliament and 25 European Union governments before it can take effect. The Parliament is likely to vote on it later this year.

A Revolution of any sort brings with it a new way a life. Viagra, the little blue bill developed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) has led to a new sexual revolution. This sexual revolution has brought with it a radical change in terms of sexual morality as well as behaviour all around the globe. This is not just another drug; it is the magic bullet that people have been waiting a long time for.

I embossed the guitar player with silver powder -- much shinier in real life and that flash is powerful as you cannot see through the embossing with your naked eye.The saying is from my favorite retired birthday greeting set -- had to use that song lyric for this one!

[sildenafil genérico en farmacias]

Su aparición en el mercado generó una revolución: nunca antes se había conseguido formular una pastilla tan simple para tratar a los hombres con disfunción eréctil (DE). Al tiempo que el tabú sobre la impotencia comenzó a caer, millones de hombres empezaron a buscar en la famosa “pastillita azul” un aliado para volver a disfrutar del sexo. Al ver que se trataba de un medicamento seguro, su éxito se mantuvo en el tiempo y hoy se puede decir que Viagra Genérico (Sildenafil) es sinónimo de éxito.

You make the hustling life sound wonderfully romantic. Thanks for writing this piece.

Thank you all for these amazing comments. It so makes my Friday night. This piece is special to me - because it really does summarize the relationship I have with my dad.

Thanks for this very informative post (and links) on fracking & its hazards, Marcia...I wasn't aware of it before.

[Printed umbrella]

Thanks for writing this informative piece on a very important issue.

[Ladies umbrella]

Thanks for giving this more publicity. Fracking seems to have snuck in under the radar as an industry practice. The more I read of it, the greater its drawbacks seem.

Wonderful, his trust in his loved ones. Enjoyed very much.
