You Tube, the future of online video sharing ?
YouTube is an online service that allows you to share videos. You can upload, view, and share video clips.
The site was founded in February 2005 by three employees of PayPal (Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim) a company owned by Google. The creators made a preview of the site in May 2005, and six months later, YouTube made its official debut.
The growth of YouTube from the beginning
As Wikipedia noticed, YouTube is one of the fastest-growing websites on the World Wide Web. Its success is due to the free sservice that it offers. No charge to send your video online, even if the storage for this type of content is known to be expansive.
As you know, YouTube is mostly used to share copyrighted material, which is normally prohibited. This is the way I use it : finding pop music videos, or TV shows I missed.
The future use of This type of sharing site is probably a hudge online store that delivers every video content. There won't be any limitation : movies, TV shows, music videos, even personnal videos should be available online. Majors currently can't find an arrangement to propose this type of service. We have a good example of what it could look like : iTunes Store.
on iTunes you can already buy movies or TV Shows, what is the interest if you can have them for free ?
