Zitat des Tages von Steve Chen:
There's just not that many videos I want to watch.
Every user has something to say.
YouTube is a free service that is extremely easy to use. There are no downloads, and hundreds of audio and video formats are instantly converted to Flash, which makes it fast and easy for the community to watch and share video.
Everybody carries a phone with them, but they may not have a computer.
What we have noticed at YouTube is that many users who have uploaded infringing content are unaware that it's illegal to do so.
There are lots of new products and new services making adding content easier. But there's not many people on the other side helping users digest that content.
From our experiences with the site in Japan, we've come to ask, 'What can we learn about syndicating content from mobile devices and getting it up on YouTube?'
Our goal is to have YouTube on every screen - to take it from the PC to the living room and the mobile phone.
We noticed that the most popular videos at YouTube showed people making things.
While there are certainly food-focused content out there on the Web and on TV, most of this content need to weave through many layers of editing before it reaches the viewer.
