I tried to open the Youtube video and was sent to a page to link my Youtube account with a Google account. I wasn't pleased with that but filled in the information to apply for a Youtube/Google link account just the same. It then brought up a page requesting a cell phone number to have a verification code sent to. That was the last straw!!! Not going to do it. That's a bunch of b.s. What ever happened to using an email address for verification? Google is asking a bit too much wanting to know your cell phone number. Anyone else have this problem? Has anyone here used Metacafe.com for posting vids? Looks like a viable alternative to Youtube.

I just cut a pasted the link with no problems.
Usually when a site asks me for my cell phone number, for no good reason, I don't have a problem giving it to them. 123 456 7890 The problem with giving them a fictitious phone no. is that you will not receive their authorization code allowing you to use Youtube. On their help page for the Youtube/Google linking process, there's a place for a person to put in their "comments". I put in some scathing comments regarding the intrusive aspects of their verification method and for some reason, I now have access to Youtube.

Why toy with an electric shovel when you can use a hydraulic shovel? I hope that bucket can reach a little farther than 15 feet. I'm not familiar with all the nuances of removing snow off a roof, but why not simply drive this rig up a ramp and onto the porch roof? From there, it could easily reach the far areas of the upper roof with its bucket and deposit the snow onto the ground. The metal roof should be able to withstand the tire treads, don't you think?
