You Tube

mimo2005 · 08-22-2006, 05:00 PM

Officially launched last December, this video-sharing service already plays more than 100 million clips per day with more than 65,000 video uploads added to its mammoth inventory. And those rates are skyrocketing.

Where does it end? "As more people capture special moments on video," its Web site declares, "YouTube is empowering them to become the broadcasters of tomorrow."

YouTube (slogan: "Broadcast Yourself") isn't the Internet's only video-sharing service. But it's the reigning brand, the talked-about phenomenon, and a mighty good example of the multiple roles now greeting yesterday's couch potato. These are get-up-and-do-something roles as artist, journalist, pundit, self-promoter, exhibitionist, prankster, weirdo and wag............

4chan got ahold of the "Internets are made of tubes" idea and had fun with it. Almost created a new meme but it died too quickly.

I think YouTube's going to change the way that original content is made available. Before now, unless you had special knowledge in site design, production, and a fat wallet for bandwidth costs, you couldn't put your ideas out there unless you were close to a network exec. Even then, unless you had enough "F-you" money, the idea would likely be tainted by some mindless syndicator who wants only to boost ratings.

YouTube could be a steal at $1 billion

Sony should learn to let well enough alone. It ruins everything it touches.

I could only imagine the field day they had with this

I use YouTube a lot. I think it is a great service. It has a nice comment system, private messaging, and a very impressive user control panel.

GOOGLE, the search-engine giant, is expected early this week to announce a $1.6 billion (£850m) deal to acquire YouTube, the video-sharing website that has been one of the fastest success stories on the internet.

That is probably because of google's video service not as good as YouTube. Good decision on Google's part and YouTube's part.

I think this will be a bad decision on the part of google. You Tube has been struggling to pay the bills but with Google purchasing it and with all the cash flowing through that company, the lawsuits will now begin. Every lawyer in the country is going to want a piece of the action.
