Evolution of YouTube: Age of Personal Media


New forms of video entertainment are on the rise. 35,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube daily and with the advancements in technology, cellphone users are able to send video directly from their phones to YouTube.

"It will be interesting to see what content will be like when everyone who has a cellphone with them can take video of anything," says Chen. (Co-founder of YouTube)

The recent creation of "Spin-offs and video responses" have allowed videos to be posted like comments--very similar to blog responses. This thread of video footage has allowed personal videos to become more like television series.

Exciting times in today's media!
