Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
PBS launches web video portal
Videos can be sorted by program or topic. And you can watch videos in full screen or windowed mode. Taking a cue from Hulu, YouTube, and other online video sites, PBS has added some social tools including a share button that lets you link to the video on Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon, and other social news and bookmarking sites. You can alsso email links to videos to your friends. But there's no simple way to embed videos on your own site.
The PBS Video player is still in beta, and I found that some videos simply didn't play. But overall, the new site makes it a lot easier to find PBS content in one central location.

Hey, it works in Canada. How long do you think that'll last? :P

You beat me to it, but I'll make it a third. We'll likely get to watch until CRTC decides that it's not Canadian enough for us to see it.
:P

The CRTC deals with web content now? I know they've been debating it, but I don't think it's policy yet. Right?
I think it'd be more likely that Rogers - or some other company - would make a stink about their distribution rights per show.

I don't think the CRTC deals with web content.
More likely a Canadian TV station will make a stink about the distribution rights per show.

This site works great for me. The best thing about it is you can see former programs you may have missed on PBS or if you are tired of those seen on TV ads or paid programing that seem to be on every channel after 9 pm, this is a great place to go, besides as I will continuously say "Free is Good"

Good find!
I did have to do a lot of experimenting to find video that would play, but this is beta.
At least I don't have to sort through a lot of junk to find what I want.

I think I just nodded off a little while reading the list of 'PBS original programming'.
