That deal made a lot more noise than it did money and ended as planned before the current season began. Now the two are trying again, this time with a rev share deal between the NBA and YouTube. Fans are being urged to upload videos of their own best moves on the court—the top 10 weekly will be put on a highlight reel and shown on NBA TV. The NBA promises to upload “select plays and behind-the-scene video. The YouTube NBA channel has a promo and link for more video at NBA.com. One element of YouTube appears to be missing—the comments were turned off on the videos I played.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#010101" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; color: rgb(1, 1, 1); font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(1, 1, 1); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; ">sethkeen@internode.on.net</SPAN></SPAN></FONT><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;; font-family: Arial; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; ">http://www.sethkeen.net/blog/</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; ">http://del.icio.us/videovortex</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
