Youtube com
Thank you for taking the time to read this article, a great way to improve your background and overall understanding of this topic.
The website www youtube com took the internet world by storm in 2005, allowing an enticing medium where any ordinary person could be a star. Registered users can upload their homemade videos for the entire world to see and promote their movies on other social networking sites or via email; although fame-hungry citizens aren't the only ones enjoying YouTube videos. This year, political candidates have been harnessing new media to promote their campaign messages and there was even a "YouTube Debate" in the primary that allowed American citizens the ability to ask candidates personal questions via video! Businesses are also wondering how they can use this powerful medium to create brand recognition.
There is no shortage of funny videos on YouTube! One can find all of the best sketch comedy skits from shows like Saturday Night Live, In Living Color and MadTV, as well as cartoon comedies, like South Park, Family Guy and the Simpsons. Additionally, free clips of stand-up comedians like George Carlin, Greg Giraldo, Daniel Tosh and Dane Cook can be viewed. Political junkies can watch Karl Rove singing and dancing like an MC at the White House Correspondents Dinner, they can watch some of the JibJab spoof videos, the infamous "Dean Scream" that cost Howard Dean his candidacy, or a video about McCain set to "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song.
Then, of course, there are cult phenomenon videos made by www youtube com users. "I think everybody that has a site has contacted me," said Paul Robinett, whose YouTube persona Renetto garnered over 23,000 subscribers and 1.19 million views. Last year he was hired to do a commercial for Coca-Cola. Chris Crocker, whose rants in defense of Britney Spears won him attention from major news stations like Fox and CNN, and led to a cameo appearance in Weezer's latest music video. A competing video site, www.revver.com, lured away "Lonelygirl15," a show about the fictitious exploits of a teenager. The kids who make Smosh also left YouTube after signing a deal with www.livevideo.com. Amateur comedian LisaNova signed with MadTV after posting successful online skits.
Even though Myspace videos have gained some popularity, www youtube com still leads the pack. After all, Myspace users can just grab the video codes from YouTube and post them in their blogs, on their profiles or send them via email. The internet has always been a place where people can find any information they want at the click of a button, yet now they can also find countless films, cartoons, skits, TV shows and amateur videography as well. In a similar vein as reality TV, now anyone can be the star of their very own movie and possibly grab the attention of talent scouts, without ever leaving home!

Today's Tip On Myspace
Hollywood talent scout Frederick Levy says that it takes talent and an extroverted personality to become a "YouTube" phenomenon. "There are a lot of people who aren't very likable, yet are very popular on YouTube," Levy admits. "Take Chris Crocker, who was behind the "Leave Britney Alone!" video. I don't think he's the most likable person on the net, as he is a little eccentric and crazy. Likable people are watched a lot, but so are eccentric people." The site has discussed sharing royalties with popular producers but no model is in place as of yet. For now, it seems that other sites and advertising campaigns will try to lure the young stars away with promises of peanuts, or perhaps a few people will launch really successful careers! |
