YouTube has announced that it is partnering with a couple hardware makers to make posting videos to its site that much easier. Casio is one of the major manufacturers, with its new Exilim camera that comes with YouTube-specific uploading software. It also records videos in settings that are already set to upload perfectly to the specifications of YouTube.
Sure, it's a nice feature, and you get a cool little YouTube sticker on your camera, but is it really that innovative? Based on the large amount of crap that ends up on the internet, it can't be all that hard to simply upload a video to YouTube. It seems like this feature will be used largely by suburban moms who want to put videos of school pageants online for extended family to watch. Or they will be used by college students to more easily record and post videos while they are still drunk.
With this new partnership, I forsee more gems like this making their way onto the Internet for all to see:
