SelfcastTV - the UK's answer to YouTube

To say I'm partial to YouTube would be a gross understatement - I'm so addicted it's a miracle I actually get any work done at all. Mainly, I like to use it for stalking my favourite people and things - Jason Lee, The Moomins, The Mighty Boosh, but it's also great for uploading your own little home videos and clips you've made on your digital camera or mobile phone.

SelfcastTV is obviously hoping to emanate some of that YouTube success with a UK-based video upload service. As with YouTube, you can upload and share your videos, as well as searching and viewing those already uploaded to the site.

And like YouTube, you can embed your video files into web pages using the code provided. It's only in Beta testing phase at the mo, but apparently when it launches properly you'll be able to publish videos straight from your phone and download content to your iPod or PSP.

I've yet to give it a proper go (although I did just waste 30 seconds of my life watching a man peeing on ice), but I'll be testing it out in the next week or so for an article I'm writing for the Indy on Sunday. So I'll post up a proper review then. In the meantime, if any of you have had a go already, let me know what you think.
