Be like a real director on Youtube


Youtube was created in 2005 and is a personal video sharing service. That means that you can download videos from the website and upload your own videos too without any restriction. You tube is a great example of what amateurs can do on the web.

It has a huge success when it was launched. Attracted by this success, Google bought Youtube last year.

The key to his success is its organisation. Youtube works like a wiki. That means that users do the website by their participations. It is the most successful example of what web 2.0 is. That means that people makes the website by using it.

I use it especially to watch videos. I generally note the most watched videos and watch them. I have never added videos on Youtube. I think my videos are too personal to be on the Internet. That’s a personal opinion.

In the future, those amateur videos could become professional. For instance, CNN with a service like "I report" copied Youtube to develop a new way of journalism.
People can send their videos and CNN can use them for its news report. The video belongs to CNN as soon as it is on the website. So people can become real professional with amateur videos.
