Video content for iPod, galore!
Yahoo! has posted in their blog instructions for setting up a customized RSS feed for use with iTunes which will automatically deliver keyword-related video content to your desktop for importing into your iPod. iTunes Applescript afficionado Doug Adams has written a script, "Yahoo! Video Search" to help Mac users take advantage of this feature.
Pretty handy, considering the cornerstone of the few negative reviews the new iPod has received, has been the supposed lack of content.
(However, I'll be the first to say that although it is possible to stick pretty much any video you want into the new iPod, iTunes does not give you any help getting the video files ready. In the same way that it was iTunes that spurred the recent popularity of podcasting, iPod's video features will not be widely used until iTunes makes it really really easy, like it has done with other features. When that happens, look out.)
