YouTube
I first heard about YouTube a few days ago when it was announced that they received funding, but I never really looked at it until coolz0r posted one of the videos on his blog. YouTube does for video what Flickr did for photos. What differentiates YouTube from Google Video is their focus on building a social network. You can rate videos, you can view other videos by the same users, you can contact the video’s submitter, you can leave comments, and you can see who has been linking to a given video (uses a blog ping type system). YouTube has been around for a while, but I only now found it.
Now if only the videos weren’t mostly from teenagers. It just feels wrong to watch their videos, even though there is no inappropriate content. Dancing like that should be illegal.
