White House Ditches YouTube

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the but-i-thought-google-bought-and-paid-for-the-US-already dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that in an apparent response to privacy complaints, the White House has quietly moved off of YouTube as a method for serving the President's weekly video address. Choosing instead to use a Flash-based solution and Akamai's content delivery network, this comes just days after YouTube began to roll out their own new policies regarding privacy of visitors.

    Still think using a free service that everybody and their dog uses makes a lot more sense than paying for it.

    A good education is a bit like a STD - it makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and gives you a desire to spread it.
