Online video sharing site YouTube said Tuesday selected clips from its site would be available on Verizon Wireless phones starting early next month.
It's only been a little more than a month since Google shook up the online video world by announcing that it was buying YouTube for $1.65 billion.

Up until very recently, John Hall was in his 18th year of teaching management at the University of Florida. Then he wound up on YouTube.
Some traditional recording companies have taken a small stake in video-sharing site YouTube that could net them millions from the Web site's recent $1.65 billion sale to Google, according to a published report.
When Google spent $1.65 billion for 19-month-old online video phenomenon YouTube, it was portrayed as a sign of the triumph of online video. And in important ways it is.

One gets the feeling that Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, the youthful founders of YouTube, are truly enjoying their last moments of being relevant. When their $1.65-billion deal to sell YouTube to Google is completed sometime before the end of the year, the dynamic duo will be transformed from belles of the media ball to the guys who got stinking rich for a year's-plus worth of work but now answer to Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Rather than leading a revolution, they'll be conducting an experiment into whether a company formed on community principles can survive within a bigger company that has a distinct culture all its own.
One place where YouTube's success isn't being celebrated is in the offices of Universal Tube and Rollerform Equipment Corp. near Toledo, Ohio.

Hypergrowth comes with hyper-growing pains -- just ask YouTube. The online video-sharing site is facing a rebellion among the formerly faithful. Yesterday, blogger and longtime YouTuber Miel Vanopstal lost his cool in a post titled "Screw YouTube." Vanopstal complains that YouTube's recent upgrades have made the site significantly slower, and that new efforts to enforce copyright and delete otherwise questionable material strike him as arbitrary. He is particularly galled that a single alert notice from a "puritanically minded" fellow user can result in a video being deleted. "I've had it with these random rejections," he writes.
