It’s not a foreign term anymore, Youtube is the new pink and black. Just incase you don’t know yet, Youtube is sort of like the Imageshack for videos. It’s different because normal everyday people add their own videos (orgies and gory ones excused) and it works a whole lot better than other services like Google Video.
That’s basically because Youtube is too easy to use. You don’t need Windows Media Player, you don’t need the Mozilla Firefox Media Agent 1.03110b beta and you don’t need any codecs. Just click and watch.
From what I understand Youtube also lowers the bitrate reasonably so that it won’t take so much time to load so you benefit. Uploading a video is just as easy, Youtube doesn’t even care what the format of the video is in. It’s like you can use your cameraphone to take a video of your classmate touching himself and upload it instantly. Usually how things work is if you’re the filmmaker of the video you would sign up for a Director’s account, and if you just edited it or think it’s cool video you just use the conventional account.
This is good, by the way. The catchphrase "Broadcast Yourself" really is true if you actually took 1/3 of your day just going around Youtube watching the different types of videos that are available. They’ve got everything from bimbo videos to racism discussion videos, crap videos to good ones and then some. I got to know Youtube from when it was in it’s premature stages and people were still using it to upload commercials and funny videos.
Youtube may just be the best thing to happen to lonely people since the invention of the TV and potato chips. In short, I really like Youtube. So, with that, I’ve come up with a new term which is ‘Youtubing’ which basically means watching videos on Youtube.
Alright, with that done, as I was Youtubing the past few days I’ve come to discover a lot of interesting videos and series videos made by ordinary people. Some of which includes the ongoing video logs of Lonelygirl15, some high school girl I guess putting up videos of herself talking about everyday things, like a bimbo to tell you the truth but it’s the editing (done by her boyfriend, Danielbeast) that makes it slightly more interesting.
There’s way too many interesting ones for me to mention, so I’ll continue that in the next two or three posts. But for now let’s just focus on one chain. So yes, LG15 and Daniel. You know that saying you can’t please everyone? Well they can’t please everyone and Lonelygirl got lots of hate comments since the first video she made.
The next best thing about Youtube is you can respond to a video with one of your own. So of course, some of them don’t just reply with hate comments, they reply with hate videos! Such as this one made by Lazydork.
If you thought the disagreeing stopped there then you’re very wrong my friend. Plenty of people replied to the Lazydork video too, and not many of them bring any relevant point but they sure are entertaining. I think you should take a look yourself.
Of course Youtube is not just a place for videos of fat guys singing and dancing and angry german kids screaming at their computers. But you gotta admit with me, the people who makes these videos are really good at editing, no? Like Lasse Gjertsen and his beatbox performance.
There’s also good music related video, such as this Australian chick’s rap response videos. Also, don’t forget that the legenday Hard Gay’s videos, almost all if not every one of them are also hosted at Youtube, including Cooking With Kids (Natto) and the hilarious Father’s Day video. There’s also videos showing you how to do card tricks and lessons on musical instrument playing.
Youtube is also home to videos of Malaysia’s roads’ finest, the Mat Rempits, this video was also edited and shows how good local people can be, so never underestimate us! Remember Zidane’s headbutt? Youtube was the first to host the video of him explaining why he did it.
Heck, there’s even a video of some kid making a mentos and diet coke rocket! soon enough Youtube may even be shut down by the FBI for containing videos of Osama at his latest hideabout making a bomb.
Alright, so here you can see just some of the fascinating videos on Youtube, I’ll continue with other finds in part 2 which I’ll post later, for now enjoy them and keep on Youtubing!
