Ok, so my title is slightly misleading, but it is true.
According to TechCrunch, last week, YouTube signed an agreement with Al Jazeera to share advertising revenue from the Al Jazeera YouTube channel.
Interestingly enough, other than YouTube or obscure satellite TV, there are only two other ways to get the Al Jazeera Arabic news network, famous for broadcasting video statements from Osama Bin Laden:
1) Move to Toledo, Ohio and sign up for cable with Buckeye CableSystem
2) Move to Burlington, Vermont and sign up for cable with the municipal supplier
So, Google supports Al Jazeera while cable networks don't. Personally, I've never watched it. I love Google. Does this mean I should check out Al Jazeera? That may be some faulty logic...
Websites I probably shouldn't have visited, at work, while researching this post:
1) All of the above
In a not so related, but I think its similar website, visit:
