Ok, this is the second time I'm typing these. I do not like this at all but here ir goes. I get that the kitten is adorable, but why video it for so long? More importantly, why are we watching it? At least the Numa Numa guy is funny.

Add Sticky NoteA recent Accenture study of 1,600 Americans found that 38 percent of respondents wanted to create or share content online.

Most of us have a desire to create. To make something, design something, to leave a mark, to matter. For me, it is writing. YouTube allows the every day person to become film makers, thespians, artists by sharing what they create online. I know I never imagined anyone would ever read what I write, after all, I am no Jane Austin. But the desire to write is always there. The same goes for those who want to sing, dance, act, or make films. They have an outlet for that creativity, and maybe they may even be discovered this way.

You'd better also see "Numa Numa," which stars a chubby young man in his New Jersey bedroom lip-syncing to an insipid but weirdly fetching Romanian pop song. Or, what the hell, live dangerously.

I do not agree. I don't post and I still exist! I don't believe you have to follow everyone and do what everyone else is doing, just to "exist". I can do the same stupid stuff other people are doing, entertaining the people around me without broadcasting it for the world to see.

Although YouTube can be very entertaining, I definitely do not think it is worth that much money. I think that outrageous amounts of money are being spent on things like this when all of this money should be being spent on actual important matters, like trying to end world hunger.

I guess valueing Facebook at $15 billion is a bit too much, too, then? That's what Microsoft valued Facebook at when it bought a less than 2% share....

I think that the majority of people who create YouTube videos do so in order to "be somebody" and to try and create a name for themselves.

Youtube is also like the fascination people have with blogs, it is a way to get your ideas, opinions, views, and anything else that you, yourself, produce out into the world. Youtube lets you publish for the world to see!

I think it is great that people can go on the computer and "Be somebody" if they are shy because then they can act as "themselves" on the computer. But I think it is soo strange when people go on the computer and create their own world and act as a different person.
-
I find this sad a little sad. You can be somebody without the public fan fare. I fear that we, as a society, are being too caught up in the fame factor. Are we inadvertently grooming our kids to be so insecure that they have to seek out public airtime to prove that they are somebody?

I know that YouTube is popular among college students, but is YouTube really that popular with the older/40+ generations? I'm curious to know what percent of that number (65,000) is made up of college students versus what percent is made up of the older generations.
-
I would say it is popular with older generations because my two year old daughter loves to watch a collection of videos of two little boys that are taped by their mother. There are numerous videos of children that are taped by their parents.

Add Sticky NoteUntil about five minutes ago, remember, almost all video-entertainment content was produced and distributed by Hollywood. Period. That time is over. There was a time when advertisers could count on mass audiences for what Hollywood thought we should be watching on TV. That time is all but over.
-
Even though there are more venues to watch a variety of other materials, I don't think that the Hollywood/TV entertainment industries are going to be all that affected. I just think that these new technology pushes are only going to make Hollywood and TV into bigger industries.
-
I think that both industries will find a way to profit from the new medium. I can see them using it as a preliminary run leading to bigger things. They might create a series online to get people hooked on it, research the viewer input, feed it to the writers, and then run a big feature film every now and then to rake in more money. Screenwriters might turn out to be more like editors getting their plotlines from the online viewers.
