Crushing it With Youtube

YouTube.com, like many Web 2.0, sites is much more than a site

allowing individuals to share video clips. It is a place for public commentary, a

place where people can review the latest and greatest info products, a place

where people can network and share common interests, goals, and

opportunities.

The best part? YouTube.com is not too complicated to use, driving away hordes

of novice users. In fact, the opposite is true. YouTube.com is easy to master.

This website allows just about anyone to sign up for an account, upload, share

video clips, and view other people’s video clips. 

Just like many popular sites, registered members can rate videos, or find out how many times other people link to a video clip for their viewing pleasure.

YouTube.com provides and publishes this information for your convenience, for

its loyal fans. Have you heard about Netflix? The idea is the same. Netflix is an

online video “store” if you will, like Blockbuster. Registered members can log in

and rent videos sent directly to their home. They can also rate and review the

videos they see. That way, the public has a better feel for what videos are worth

watching (and whether there are some videos they shouldn’t bother with).

The site can also tailor its recommendations to you depending on how many

videos you rate. The big DIFFERENCE between a site like this however, a static

site, and YouTube.com, is using YouTube, and you can watch video clips right

from your home computer. There is no renting, no late fees and no charges to

become a member.
