Watch CBS Videos Online
This video was taken from Yahoo News and is about voter fraud in relation to early voting.
This video was taken from the Washingtonpost.com. The package is about Obama addressing the failed bailout plan in Congress.
I thought YouTube's accessibility to embedding was the easiest and most obvious to users. Other sites embed codes were linked to tiny boxes on the video's called "share." Yahoo News and print sites like the Washington Post made embedding somewhat simple. CNN offered the option to embed as well, but it wasn't compatible with blogger which was frustrating.
Most sites were interactive and allowed the user to click to other stories that were timely, popular and important news of the day. Most sites I visited also offered the option of full screen viewing which makes watching the video similar to watching it on a television screen.
I went to a few sites to find a good viral video, but ended up choosing a piece by CNN's Jeanne Moos. I enjoy her packages because they are light-hearted and upbeat. The one I chose pokes fun at facial expressions that the candidates made during last Thursday's debate. Although I could not embed the video, it can be found on CNN's video page.The breaking news video I chose is from MSNBC. The video is of President Bush addressing the nation in regards to the failed financial bailout bill.
