YouTube Mobile site coming soon? Some evidence

youtube mobiel togoWith the recent news of YouTube teaming up with Nokia and Vodafone to provide videos on mobile devices, I started to do some amateur digging. I started to URL surf on YouTube's site to see if I could come up with any clues on the new mobile service that was mentioned in Nokia's press release. That brought me to m.youtube.com, which directed me to a page that was "not available", but did display a YouTube Mobile logo. So, needless to say, YouTube Mobile is in the works, but what it's going to look like and act like is a different story. We know it's going to be aimed at mobile devices, so content will most likely be stripped down, and sizes adjusted to fit smaller screens. Could it be similar to Nokia and Vodafone's online services where a user can upload, share and view directly to a special account? Maybe it's just a stripped down basic YouTube.com site? From the current, non-existent site, It looks like certain outside IP's might be banned from viewing the content while the team at YouTube builds and works out the bugs. If you have any news on this, or want to drop a comment on what you think the YouTube Mobile ToGo service could look like, we'd like to start dreaming.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
