CBS drops in on YouTube

It didn't take long for CBS to push out some video content to YouTube, which signed a licensing deal with the network just before the Google-YouTube deal was officially announced.

CBS wants to get you to leave the PC behind for an hour and watch some commercials/network television. Think it will work, when there is so much in-demand, in-control options for people online?

CBS was already doing this directly on their own site.

I think a lot of people will go for this, even with DVR and other options that are out there.

Innertube does full episodes, the YouTube/CBS site does short form videos, one to three minutes in length mostly.

Why in the world would I want shorts when I could see the full video?
