• BBC - Consists of trailers and short features that will act as promotional material for the show.
• BBC Worldwide - Features self-contained clips of popular shows such as Top Gear, David Attenborough’s nature programmes and other similar shows that would likely have worldwide appeal.
• BBC News - News clips (almost 30 per day) for a non-UK audience. UK users will not be able to access these videos, although these will be available on the BBC News website only for UK users.

One of the most interesting quotes (shown below) defines the thinking behind this move:

“The BBC would not be hunting down all BBC-copyrighted clips already uploaded by YouTube members - although it would reserve the right to swap poor quality clips with the real thing, or to have content removed that infringed other people’s copyright, like sport, or that had been edited or altered in a way that would damage the BBC’s brand.”

A relatively unknown feature of Google Reader is the ability to create a bookmarklet that will immediately take you to the source of the next unread post at the click of a button. This is especially useful for those that prefer reading posts with the styling of the poster’s site. One interesting application of this is to cluster together all the blogs that show only partial feeds. Then create a bookmarklet for that folder so that you can always see the full post whenever you click on it.

To access the bookmarklets go to Google Reader -> Settings -> Goodies. Then drag the bookmark of the folder you want into your Bookmarks Toolbar and you’re all set.
