YouTube is more arrived than actually emerging; it has emerged only a couple of years ago and it hadn’t existed even a year before it got sold to the biggest empire, Google.com. Most of my classmates that I talked to went on YouTube because of being prompted to the site by emails by friends, etc. A couple of people accessed YouTube because their I-phones have a direct link for it. The one clip that I was trying to show as an example of how a video clip can spread like wildfire was the Miss South Carolina and her response in the question part of the Teen pagaent and how detrimental YouTube can possibly be to a person’s image. I showed the clip to point out that the video got 22 million views and was the most viewed clip in September 2007, presumably immediately after the pagaent. I like how YouTube is an effective tool to offset the constraints of time…for instance, you can find all the “replays” of anything you want.

The topic I have chosen is YouTube. YouTube has been around since 2006, and is a popular video sharing sites where all a person needs is an account in order to upload and share videos. And its popularity is evident in the number of views a video receives. I focus on how YouTube has grown as a website from where people posted their “funniest home videos” tpe of media to a literal filing drawer of various media clips, including election footage, news clips, etc.
