Why YouTube Is One Of The Largest Innovations In Internet History…
YouTube appears to be one of the largest technological revolutions in the history of the internet and is changing the entire face of the media.
While online video has been around for quite some time, prior to YouTube, there was really no easy or practical way to share video on the internet.
Videos were long and slow loading, and required separate software to view them. If you ever tried watching video prior to YouTube, you may know how frustrating it was indeed!
YouTube revolutionized online video by developing a technology that easily allows people to watch videos in the web browser, as well as embed YouTube videos in remote websites.
The embedding feature can be a huge advantage in promotion as you can easily place numerous videos on your websites, blogs, MySpace pages, and practically any other page were you can add html code.
Unlike it’s predecessors, the video from YouTube actually streams nicely from the internet, even on a wide range of internet connection speeds. Video play starts almost immediately (unlike other videos which require either complete download, or take up to several minutes to load) and videos can be paused and rewinded for careful viewing.
