Only founded in February, 2005, YouTube has already become a popular household name and one of the biggest websites on the Internet today. YouTube is now the premier destination to watch and share original videos on the Internet.

Through websites, blogs, email and mobile devices, people can easily upload and share their video clips at YouTube. The video clips can be no longer than ten minutes and establishing a basic account at YouTube is free. Even if you don’t register an account at YouTube, everyone can watch videos for free. Funding for YouTube was extended by Sequoia Capital and within one year of its launch, YouTube was purchased by industry leader, Google. Since then, YouTube has had deals with giants such as CBS, Sony Music Group, BBC, NBA and Warner Music Group.

There are also optional paid accounts available at YouTube that go beyond the basic free features of uploading, video responses and sharing. As a Director, you can have custom logo and items on your Profile page. A Musician and Comedian can include custom logo, tour date info, genre and CD purchase links on their Profile page while a Guru is allowed a custom logo, genre and links on their Profile page. There are also blogs and community forums where YouTube members meet and share even more.

Watching the videos at YouTube can be absolutely addictive because there are so many to choose from. From news to celebrities to funny stuff, you will be completely entertained at YouTube.
