I just came across a site called TimeTube which is a new mashup from Dipity. The interactive timeline site, takes videos and arranges them by date and then sorts them by most viewed. It’s a cool tool that offers a unique view of videos for a particular time period.

We've been hearing rumors in the past few weeks about YouTube India’s imminent launch. YouTube India www.in.youtube.com is now live, offering the standard YouTube video selection through an Indian filter reflecting the favorites, voting and preferences of an Indian audience. According to IndiaTimes, partners for the launch are Rajshri Group, the Zoom channel from the Bennet Coleman & Co, and UTV.

In what can only be the most ridiculous proposed law of 2007 the India Government is proposing a ban on all internet and mobile video. According to the Economic Times, the proposed law is in response to the increase in cyber crime and piracy. So in typical India fashion the government wants to shut down all videos on the web. Notwithstanding that impossibility, how does the government plan to enforce the ban?
