I was asked "Why I Youtube". Not that I have to justify why I do anything that I do, I just thought about it for a second (literally). A person that asks that question doesn't really know what Youtube is.<br /><br />I'll start off by explaining to you what I think the definition of Youtube is;<br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >Youtube is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0">Web 2.0</a> website that allows users to watch, upload, and share videos. It builds a community around your content and allows hosting of your videos for free. It doesn't require that you have web hosting of any kind and Youtube creates a common place to find videos on specific topics.</span><br /><br />Why I Youtube:<br /><ul><li>I quite like the idea of people knowing who I am, what I like to do, and all kinds of things about me. Answering questions like these are really simple in videos. Hopefully, when my time is over, people can still find videos that I created.<br /></li><li>Share my knowledge and thoughts.</li><li>Demonstrate software usage.</li><li>A form of entertainment. Need not I say more. Me walking around my home finding wireless networks is fun, so why not create a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmzLNhjNDbE">video</a> about it?<br /></li><li>Free music videos :)</li><li>I like maintaining an online presence.<br /></li><li>Engaging in community discussions.</li></ul>Feel free to subscribe to my videos or add me as a friend. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bblacklaws99">My Youtube Channel</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-6334773764048490"; /* 468x60, created 7/7/08 */ google_ad_slot = "2560447621"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09716124648359424756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461572742950544802.post-55323272110154038032008-05-11T20:35:00.000+02:002008-05-13T22:30:10.127+02:002008-05-13T22:30:10.127+02:00I had such a great day!
