YouTube enables uploading from cellphones

If you're a fan of watching shakey videos of teenagers fighting each other and illegally racing cars, then you'll be pleased to learn that YouTube has just launched a new service allowing members to upload videos directly from their cellphones. Compatible with all four major carriers, the upload service requires users to set up a mobile profile in order to generate a unique email address that all videos must be sent to for posting. What a great world we live in, where you can happy slap a stranger in the street and almost immediately broadcast your crime to millions of eager voyeurs.

Yes, I like it. I use TextAmerica currently. You can email photos and videos straight from your phone. And there front page updates with incoming data. It's great. Check out this one, I call "Nappy Head":
