BOSTON, Mass. - October 13, 2006 - Online video is hot...and it's getting even hotter. Consider this week's $1.65 billion dollar deal between 'Google' and the popular video-sharing site 'YouTube.'

100 million clips are viewed via 'YouTube' every day. That's a lot of eyeballs. Google, advertisers and TV networks are hoping to capitalize on the internet video boom, although others say the new medium is more about creativity...and community...than about cash.

WBUR's Andrea Shea talked to some Boston area video artists about the online phenomenon.
