Welcome to the Escape Blog

At the risk of every post being about Google, news today that the Search Engine Giant may be buying video sharing website YouTube for a reported $1.6 Billion.

Launched in February 2005, YouTube has grown into one of the most popular websites on the web, with 100 million videos viewed every day and an estimated 20 million visitors each month.

A problem for Google if they do buy the company, is that a great many users put up their favourite music videos and film clips, for which they have not gained copyright approval.

We have had great fun with You Tube In the past and have used to to run our videos through, saving on our server bandwidths. I am sure there is a business model that makes money behind all this but they let you do it for free.

See our World Cup Competition Video and The Result Video - very funny if I do say so myself.
