the point is "what worm?"

Please see my UTube on You call THAT a Worm - THIS is a Worm

but Oh sweet democracy - I put my video as a RESPONSE to howards own UTube spot at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07yLauixFkM

AND as you see I blow the lid on his plan to up the pension age to 67

so all he could do was make a quick announcement on the fly he would "pay pensioner's power bills etc etc"

bet he wishes he never used UTube

There is so much discussion on the worm at the moment. I **taped** the Election debate from 60 minutes, uploaded it on YouTube, and within an hour: 500 viewings.

so that would be a TAPE Worm??

DD, you've made me laugh even more than Gibs does!!

Howard's promise of dramatic increases to pensioner concessions today, when he proposes to put the retirement age up to 67 yesterday? is a doozy!

On Tuesday this week, the dream of YouTube independence was over.

We are now under "YouTube Australia". This trojan horse has the young YouTubers excited that it is "Australian". They can't see the shift of partner ownership over Australia YouTube.

As of now, a partnership chunk of YouTube for us was taken over by Fox, PBL, Packer, 10 Network and other Australian Corporations including the ABC.

The so called "secret YouTube Party" in Sydney was a hoax. It wasn't a party, and the youtubers were locked in an area where they couldn't see the screens or the window seats reserved for "partners only", that is, Fox, 10, 7 and so on.

On YouTube's internal news or Citizen YouTube, the announcement was that under the new "You Tube Australia", they will be digging up as much dirt on Kevin Rudd as possible. You Tube reported that this is a "close election", that the PM had a "right to do what he likes on the debate" and the the PM "needed some help from YouTube". They are the new moderators of YouTube. The end of a dream.

So there goes the old dream. This should start a new thread. It is as depressing as it is frustration. A hat trick that no one expected from John Howard. Just take over YouTube Australia, and there is nothing we can do.

Did channel 9 at any point agree with the National Press Club not to use the worm?

If not, who cares?

well, MOSTLY no one, ie except this little black duck. Take a look at my new book http://www.ablokesguide.com to see that in family law and child support [AND soon in privacy law] I have been following every nasty step by Howard/Ruddock to kneecap the legislation, and had a few great victories
