Youtube when it came into existence was a very new concept on the world of internet. No one thought about the concept that is You Tube. This concept wouldn’t have been successful if broadband connection was as affordable as it is right now. Seriously, who would wait hours on end for a video to load on a dial-up connection. Well since its conception, the idea of uploading videos and sharing them with other internet users has really taken off. I heard about youtube a year or so ago and I really liked the idea. People could share their personal videos or any other videos on the web with others, for free.
I first found youtube when I was looking for basketball videos. In a very short time, the video sharing on the web concept really made its mark. This also created some copyright issues when users began to upload copyrighted materials. Youtube has huge, there are other similar sites but youtube is still the leader in video sharing. This video sharing concept has changed the way we use the web, interact with other people. From a very small visitors to youtube, now it gets about a million visitors everyday and the figure is growing day by day. Thats huge. Even politicians are finding out the power of video sharing and the internet. They are starting to promote their campaign on YouTube video. As youtube grew, big companies like google became interested in the concept and about six months ago (I might be wrong the the time frame) google bought youtube for a huge amount. Google already had a video sharing site called google videos but it never was as popular as youtube. In fact, now there are so many youtube like sites but none is more popular than YouTube. I watch utube videos on a daily basis, specially sports highlights on basketball and football, I can’t imagine living without youtube now and I think many people feel the same way.
