There’s a folder in my documents that I regularly access that I wanted listed on my Start Menu. There are other ways of quickly accessing folders or documents such as having quick links on the taskbar or shortcuts on the desktop but the real advantage of this is the keyboard shortcut with the Windows key, the first letter of the folder and the return key.

Michael over at Techcrunch gives a good write up on Yahoo Video, another video hosting site gunning for YouTube. In what’s turning into a crowded market place, Yahoo’s chances look good with the resources and personnel available to them since the Flickr acquisition. Interestingly Yahoo video is based around Microsoft’s Windows Media format and doesn’t just offer their own but aggregates video from other sites (just presumably not YouTube’s).
It’s a sensible move from Yahoo, establishing itself in the video market which will potentially become another form of revenue through advertising and paid video. Further as bandwidth becomes bigger the growth in this market will be immense as high quality video on demand becomes reality.
