You Tube.com is much more just a vehicle for regular people to put stupid videos online, and for the rest of us to waste time at work watching them for a quick laugh. If this is the most valuable TV station on the planet, I really have to get off this planet. It is a place to share and be shared, not a TV network for the Internet. YouTube is mostly a loss leader for Google, but they are beginning to offset the costs bit by bit by improving the service and beginning the online advertising. It may never be a profitable site, but so long as it continues to integrate Google tech and accounts, it'll continue to gather users, the spin off of which may be enough to help the company out.

Of course, it is one of the greatest success stories of Internet entrepreneurship. It was founded in February of 2005, received funding from Sequoia Capital later that year and launched by the end of the year. Many say it is the greatest, why? From the newest hip hop video to '70 kung fu flick. YouTube is riding on the content popularity wave, mainly, kind of like MySpace, which is turning into junk. No one with half a brain however can see a business model on the horizon.

Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard in the lead has also used YouTube up to the 2007 federal election. The website has only been around since February 2005, but they've seen massive growth - they're serving 100 million You Tube.com vids daily, and it's possible that they won't just be the next MySpace: they could be even bigger. Appealing to both the geek crowd and the MySpace demographic is a hard trick, but they seem to have pulled it off. Ww.Youtube.com has become the poster child for the old saying "we are losing money on every sale, but we will make it up in volume". To the Youtube fan club, its inconceivable that any website with so much traffic and market share could be in anything but an enviable position.

It is perceived as a video site. Google is a search engine that also has a video section and is spreading these unique talents the way that vaudeville did in the pre-digital age. The difference is that at one time, people would pay to see that kind of thing. YouTube is killing my business!". This article was recently on the FrontPage of digg.com wherein many people commented on how you could take advantage of all the extra traffic going to your site.

On the whole, the website hasn't changed at all, only people's perceptions or expectations of it. The company states in its user agreement that uploading copyrighted material is illegal, and a similar warning appears before you upload a clip.
