YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. In November 2006, YouTube, was bought by Google Inc. for 1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google.
The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos.
Individuals have uploaded most of the content on YouTube, although media corporations including CBS and the BBC and other organizations offer some of their material via the site. (1)
For me, one of the best things about YouTube, is the sheer number of videos that is on offer. Never before has there been a site whereby you are almost guaranteed to finds the kind of video clip your looking for.
A newer aspect of the YouTube website is the community element whereby people can choose to subscribe to each other videos, create channels and post comments.
