I find these sites a sad statement on how we devote our time as a society.

Well, to a point at least. I'm no lover of social-networking sites, and I often wonder how people have the time to devote to them. However, I'm 32 and I do watch video clips on my phone, usually killing time waiting for meetings, public transportation, doctors appts., etc. But even if I didn't do it for fun, there are practical applications to this embedded player. Put it in a company blog for example to send video clips of say, a construction site, to a team to view back in the office. Then maybe a member of the team needs to put the video on their phone so they can go somewhere else to solve a problem at the site. All they have to do then is hit the SND2MBL button and it's on their phone. I’m right there with you, Jon. Well, to a point at least.

I think myspace (and their clones) are nothing but a big waste of time to say it lightly and trying to view movies on a cell phone equally as puzzling to a 30 year old fart like myself.
