Introduction
YouTube
–
You
What?
Have
you
heard
about
YouTube.com?
Maybe
you
are
scratching
your
head,
wondering,
“What
is
it”?
Is
it,
a
catchy
name
for
a
catchy
service?
Is
it
a
marketing
tool?
Is
it
a
website
for
novice
filmmakers?
The
answer
is
yes,
yes,
yes
and
then
some.
You
see,
YouTube
is
many
things
to
many
people,
depending
on
how
they
use
it
and
their
purposes
for
its
use.
You
can
define
the
website’s
purpose
traditionally
as:
“YouTube.com
is
one
of
the
many
Web
2.0
sites
popping
up
on
the
Web.
It
is
a
“video
sharing”
website.”
However,
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.
Sounds
neat,
huh?
