YouTube, the flickr of video
All right. I’m late to the YouTube game. Back in December I speculated that someone might do this. The YouTube bunch already were. It’s the flickr of videos.
Currently, however, the rating system seems to be off. The most viewed videos are trite pranks or videos of teenage girls. The highest rated videos are clips from Hollywood movies. I don’t mind seeing some of the fodder, but the “most viewed” system only highlights the worst of the offerings. They claim to be CLEAN and REAL, but many tags belie that notion.
Or maybe I’m simply not the target audience for this. The technology behind it is promising; they need to clean up the interface and junk before they can consider being bought.
