You tube is a video-sharing website, created in February 2005 and owned by Google since late 2006, on which users can upload, view and share videos. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video and HTML5 technology to display a wide variety of user generated video content, including video clips, TV clips, and music videos, and amateur content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos. And one of the reasons youtube is so wonderful is its simplicity. Very easy to navigate through the site and the design interface is straight forward. It functions with a search bar built in where you can browse any issue or topic video or slideshow available on the site. Its intention is for all ages. And the sites popularity has made it a world wide stage for anyone trying to get their video viewed from all over the world. Since youtube's launch in February of 2005 the site has changed. Its purpose of displaying videos has not changed. Though rules and regulations have change what type of material or content can be uploaded and shared on the website. Youtube has been responsible for allowing people from all over with different aspirations to get their videos seen by many people who then gave them possible opportunities to become famous, or fulfill what ever dreams they may had. Its designs, including its logo is recognized world wide. The sites super popularity is a platform and or tool for many major figures to scout youtube looking for raw talent. Its a great idea, great design and look. And very simple that a child can navigate through and even upload footage. I think its great and very effective in its purpose and meaning.
