How to post video from phone in comment using youtube mobile

Note: it takes a few minutes for youtube to process your phone video and therefore you have to wait for the unique web address of your video. No problem though - do some other actions while you wait!

0) in another window go to youtube.com mobile , make sure you are logged into your account
1) follow the instructions to set-up your profile; you'll be given a unique e-mail to send your videos to and can send them there from here on out.
2) wait a few minutes to get your videos unique url
3) copy the videos url (i.e http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGmS06RfYlU) and paste it in your center for improved living comment
4) If you want to be super awesome, join The Center for Improved Living's youtube group at http://www.youtube.com/group/tcfil and add your video to the group by a) clicking on your video and b) then click "add to group." c) Check "The Center for Improved Living" and then d) click "add to group." Finito.

Great. But veeks, (at veeker.com) seem to work easier and allow for more options for getting video files from your mobile...opened an account this weekend after Carnaval, uploaded some nice stuff :) ...just FYI.

Also take a look at BlipBack.com.
They give away a video comment widget which among other things allows video postings from mobile phone (by sending email from phone or from other email client to [username]@blipback.com).
The main widget is suitable for video blogging or when you need all video comments in one spot, but they also offer a blipBomb service for posting single video comments (shown in a small Flash player ala YouTube)
