Youtube video poster

    Without actually manually uploading youtube videos, i was wondering if there was a tool that would upload "semi-bogus" videos to youtube.

    do a search for something like "arsenal vs tottenham" in youtube, and you get a whole array of people who uploaded a single still image, that runs for a few minutes and there is just a link in the video description saying "go here for the full video"

    it's sort of difficult to explain, but anyone who has any idea on how to do this in a quick manner, i'd love to hear the advice. i searched around for a solution but couldn't really find anything at all.

    haah, now that you have caught on the point, youtube has manual video reviewers who review each and every video and sooner or later this is going to become part of their TOS not to upload such videos. But if you want to try it, you could always use video distribution systems like TubeMogul.

    Sure why not - everyone is posting spam to everything else, why not youtube too...

    its not really spam. tos restricts posting of the actual videos in question to youtube. thus a pic/link to the viewable copy is all you can really do.

    I agree. Youtube viewers don't mind clicking on a youtube video and then going to another site to see what they wanted to see. Especially if it's a big event like a football match or something.
