There are many internet sites that display footage of an assortment of things. Only one I know of shows the variety of things that are displayed on YouTube.com. People from all over can upload their personal home footage or download footage obtained in a not so legal way.
Friends of mine have posted their own tapes and movies on YouTube for others to find and enjoy. This, to me, is one of the greatest aspects of the web site. Being able to display individual work for anyone to access makes the site more appealing. Knowing that your own work can be posted for viewing next to footage of a famous band or comedian adds to the drawl and overall affect.
Some shows new episodes tend to show up on YouTube. All that is needed is to wait a few days after you miss a viewing of a new show that you love and it will more likely than not show up on YouTube within that time period.
This may or may not be perfectly legal, but it is definitely enjoyed.
Everyone may not be aware of who Dane Cook is. He is most definitely my favorite comedian ( who has made me even happier that he has chosen to act now to adding to his talents ). I get to listen to all if his materials through footage of his shows on YouTube.
When my roommate was last feeling down about her stupid ex-boyfriend (and Josh I'm not beingharsh before you make a smart comment to me--the guy really is stupid. I know this in part by how he treated her and i another part because I went to high school with him and observed many a joke raise crickets after leaving his mouth, among other things) I pulled up one of his pieces about guys. It was about what guys are thinking during a break-up and right after it.
After few minutes of vivid description confessing the jumble of thoughts that made perfect logic she was cracking up and I was searching for his next piece of male incrimination to keep the laughter filling up our tiny little dorm room.
Along side the handsome comedian there are music videos from some of my favorite bands. Even some bonus features of Britney Spears' come back performance ....which I was heard was excellent even though I haven't gotten the chance to view it myself yet.
Then there are the people who decide to make their own music videos to their favorite music and then upload it to YouTube.
Everything eventually comes together though. Every one of those video files are like a visual entry into an online journal that millions can contribute to. Each one becomes a parrt when they decide to place their work on the screen where it is open to critisism. Each one of those people who make a post are making a journal entry even though they did not choose to write out their experience it is still cateloged just as a written entry might have been.
They can be considered to be the "male and female" so to speak of the oline world of blogging.
