YouTube
1. Google bought YouTube for US$1.65 billion in 2006.
2.
It was founded in February 14, 2005 by three former PayPal employees. I
was an independent company for a year and a bit before being bought by Google.
3.
Regulation policies include; not allowed to post copyrighted footage.
Bullying is not allowed or any offensive content.
4.
Every country except those shown below.
5.
China, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea, Entrea and parts of
Germany.
6.
The default length allowed for videos is 15 minutes but it can be
extended to a maximum of 11 hour.
7.
“300 hours of new videos were uploaded to the site every minute…. the
site has 800 million unique user per month”
8.
29 of the 30 most viewed videos on YouTube are music videos, which are
owned by record labels; the other one video is made by a normal person. This suggests
that the media is still dominated by huge companies and also suggests were not
actually prosumers the way we believe we are, rather were just consumers.
9.
Alternatives to YouTube are Vevo, Vimeo, Daily Motion and Vine.
