So...what is YouTube?

YouTube.com is undoubtedly one of the most visited websites in cyberspace. The website is so popular it ranks directly behind Yahoo and Google. On any given minute, an average 15 hours of video is uploaded onto the website.

But why is YouTube so popular? What is the fuss all about? YouTube is popular because it enables its users to upload and share their videos to other people. It functions as a social network whereby you can invite your friends to view your videos and allow them to leave comments. Likewise, your video can also be made public and broadcast to anybody who logs on to the site.

What is YouTube / A Little History

The creators of YouTube initially wanted the site to be a venue for people to upload homemade videos. Today any video, even popular TV shows can be viewed on the site. This of course is subject to copyright laws and the eagle-eyed people employed by Youtube promptly remove any videos that violate copyright laws.

What is YouTube / Variety

Users of YouTube can upload almost any video file format onto the site. YouTube uses Adobe Flash Video technology. Other account users also use YouTube for video blogging, whereby instead of publishing your blog on the Internet, you just video yourself and broadcast your video on YouTube instead.

There is a wide array of videos on YouTube. You can view film and TV clips, music videos, instructional videos and amateur videos. Before the launch of YouTube in 2005, amateur video makers had a hard time broadcasting their videos because of file conversion issues. YouTube however has made it easy to use interface and revolutionized video sharing forever.

What is YouTube / For the Online Business Owner

If you are an online business owner you simply must familiarize yourself with YouTube. Why? Because if you do not take advantage of this clever and stimulating way to market, you can be sure your competitor will.

People love to watch videos. They love to be laugh, to be educated, and even to cry. That is why many web site owners are creating videos related to their sites. If their site is about golf, the savvy web owner will post a series of educational videos to show how to execute a proper putt.

The key of course is implement entertaining content that also stimulates the watcher's curiosity. The person that watches these videos feels he simply must go to the web site that is displayed on the screen. The golf site owner then starts getting wonderful targeted traffic. All thanks to YouTube.

What is YouTube / The Criticisms

YouTube of course has its fair share of critics. The first issue is copyright. YouTube has a staff that monitors these issues but because of the sheer number of volume, YouTube does not take action immediately. This leads to criticism. Pornography and other inappropriate content is also banned from the site.

YouTube has also begun invading mobile phones. This availability is still subject to the mobile phone provider and not all videos can be viewed via the cell phone. Apple products such as the iPhone can view videos uploaded on YouTube. President Barak Obama’s weekly address can be viewed and downloaded via mp4 format from YouTube.
