Send a V-card for the Holidays with YouTube; Plus Test Tube is Alive

Don't send an e-card this holiday season when you can send a v-card (video card) courtesy of YouTube and Coca-Cola. There's a limited selection of videos currently, and most of them are Coca-Cola ads, but you can upload your own if you want. Customize it with a personal message, and you're done.

Called Holiday Wishcast, it's a good extension of YouTube into more specialized video offerings. You can see what else they've cooked up at Test Tube, an incubator for new ideas. Currently, YouTube is testing out Streams, which lets users chat in real-time about a video.
