Watch YouTube Just Like TV

It's a new service just launched by a Japanese company, hatena. What it does is to let you watch video contents from YouTube continuously by just visiting the website. It is said to be compatible with Wii browser so it is going to be just like watching TV, except the contents are all in YouTube.
This is the first time for the company to release English interface available at the same time as the Japanese one. The interface is very simple and documented nicely in its help page (English). I think they have done a decent job on this.
The whole concept of this is kind of like going back to the time where there was no internet. As of today, we mostly have to chose what we want to see on the web, and we make the decision on every click. However, with this service, you can just lay back and let it show you whatever might be entertaining you.
Even though it has English interface, it looks like the contents they are showing are the same as of Japanese one. If you like Anime and such, you might have a chance to enjoy this service. Oh, I just got an idea. This might be a good start for you if you are interested in learning Japanese!
