Youtube

Youtube appears to be "mastering the art of turning video piracy into revenue for itself and its partners." That's why it's one of the most viewed website making piles of money. This website serving as a place for people to upload, exchange and view video clips has taken over the internet world. For the past couple years, music video and television clips created tension between them and Google. Copyright issues were brought to the surface when people would upload videos without permission. Up until last year things had bead been a certain way but now things have changed. Companies are wanting their video clips on Youtube because they know it will create more publicity and a buzz. Youtube has online advertisements and the money made is split between them and the company. Youtube is even working with smaller based companies who convert audio and video media into digital files. This technology will enable them to identify certain clips almost instantly after something's live.

According to ComScore, 40 percent of all the online videos seen in the United States in August were through Youtube. These are astounding numbers. Youtube is taking over and enabling information, and ideas to be spread not only nationally but worldwide. Here's some examples.....


clips on ESPN about byu's epic win against Oklahoma or something totally pointless about a bearded, dancing man/woman with over 65,000 viewers

Whatever the source or topic, Youtube i taking new venues to make their website more user friendly for it's million users. To sum everything up, Youtube is taking over.
