YouTube is watching you...


Wikipedia describes YouTube as a “popular free video sharing web site which lets users upload, view, and share video clips”. This site was founded in February 2005by three employees of “PayPal” the virtual bank. This website is based on amateur content but it can also include movies or TV broadcast… To my mind, YouTube developed because of the free access and all the transgression it allows. Indeed, users are mainly the 12- to 17-year-old but it doesn’t prevent the website to have 20 million visitors each month… Personally I discovered YouTube recently and use it to illustrate my blogs as I did last week with “Lost In translation”. To most important thing occurred to YouTube recently is the purchase by Google which shows the interest of such a website. I don't know if YouTube has a future... Before the 9th October, I would certainly say that it was just a fashion. But Google's arrived. And by the price it pays for this website, it obliged me to change my mind... Maybe YouTube will become as the American website IReport which belongs to CNN and allows people to post their own videos to testify when an event occurs. Another theory: YouTube will become the best way for actors or artists in general to be recognized… Let’s wait and see!
