    Advantages Advantages Something for everyone, contains some real true gems

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some users can be abusive, media player keeps sticking when site is busy

    YouTube....wow what a website! Although I'm not certain how long YouTube has been in existence, I'm really sorry that I didn't discover it before somebody recommended it to me a couple of years ago. For the as yet uninitiated, YouTube ( www.youtube.com ) is a website that contains a whole wealth of video clips uploaded by the users for sharing with the world, on every subject you can think of, plus some you can't think of as they are too bizarre. Anybody can join YouTube. All you do is register, and you're away! You can watch videos without registering, but if any you wish to view have what is ... more

    Youtube.com What is you tube? If you haven't heard of YouTube I'll be greatly surprised, it was created in 2005 and is now one of the most popular websites on the Internet. What YouTube allows you to do, is upload and watch music videos on anything in the world, this is it's upside and downside, read below for more. In 2006, this site which was gaining in popularity each day, was bought from the founders by Google Inc for a great sum.

    Advantages Advantages Most Diverse, Dynamic collection of media on the web

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Addictive :D

    February 2005 saw the birth of one of the most revolutionary internet websites ever to grace the internet yet, it was set up to survives solely on user generated content. The idea of three friends Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim changed the way that most of us think of media on the web, the internet user now has access to a great multitude of media clips be it amateur video or professional pieces. The idea was so good in fact that one such company which also started in a similar way decided that the competition was heating up a bit to much, that company being Google had launched ... more

    Advantages Advantages Once-great video sharing site.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Going downhill.

    YouTube, YouTube, YouTube... Where to start? This website was an internet revolution in it's own right when it was launched by three former PayPal employees in February 2005. However, it soared to new heights in November 2006 when it was purchased by Google, and thus had the added bonus of the Google budget, which is enormous (being possibly the highest earning site on the internet), to drive it forward. Just a quick background for those that don't know (unless you have been living under a rock then you probably will but...), YouTube is an online video sharing site upon which anyone can upload ... more
