youtube, a star is born!!

YouTube is a popular free video sharing web site which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Founded in February 2005 by three employees of PayPal, the San Bruno-based service utilizes Adobe Flash technology to display video. The wide variety of site content includes movie and TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging. It is staffed by 67 employees. In October 2006, Google, Inc., announced its acquisition of the company for $1.65 billion USD in Google's stock.
At present, YouTube is one of the fastest-growing websites on the World Wide Web, and is ranked as the 10th most popular website on Alexa, far outpacing even MySpace's growth. According to a July 16, 2006 survey, 100 million clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded per 24 hours.
In its short time on the web, YouTube has grown quickly and received much attention. Online word-of-mouth has been primarily responsible for YouTube's growth since its inception, and gave the site its first surge of publicity when it hosted the popular Saturday Night Live short Lazy Sunday.
The success of youtube is the easiness of utilization, and the number of video shared.
I use youtube daily. For me, it is like google. Each time i am looking for a video or a clip, it takes two clicks to find it on youtube.
For me utube is a reflect of the new use of internet, and it will keep developping in the future.
I think that the use will evoluate. : youtube could be an interface for people all over the world.
For instance : we could imagine that people could put a video cv online. It could be easier for recruteers.
I also think of artists : actors, singers, that could put their videos for casting directors.
But like internet, i think youtube will find plenty new uses. This website is a little revolution, and if google wanted so much to buy it (and bought it so much) there are reasons...
