[Bf-webcontent] Watching videos

[Andrew Price]

Sup.

Yeah the videos are indeed a bit random. I just pulled whatever relevant
videos I could find.

And yeah a video describing each feature by one person would be more
professional. I'll volunteer to do that this week if you like. Shouldn't
take too long.

As for hosting vs youtube, I'm definitely in favor of youtube since Flash
videos being played thousands of times a day will most certainly wreck
havok on the server. And to avoid it being pushed to all the channel's
subscribers, the vids can be uploaded as unlisted.
