Hello and welcome to our humble little blog entitled social media buzz! When i said our, i was referring to Asha, Chee Kiat and yours truely Preya. This blog is actually a part of our assignment, for us, Mass Communication students from Inti College Subang Jaya. In the coming 10 weeks, each of us will take turns tackling issues regarding social media sites! =D
For those of you pondering on what social media sites are, well, easy, they are actually sites that allows users to create and exchange any sort of media content, hence the word social media sites. This ranges from the very site you are reading off, Blogger, to our very loved Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Imeem, MySpace and so many more other sites.
Social media sites has gained much popularity in these recent years, almost like a phenomenon hitting everyone who uses the Internet and it continues to gain popularity. Users now are spoiled for choices as they are many sites of the same sort to choose from.
The topic for this week, YouTube!
We know you all love sneaking into YouTube to catch the latest and hottest music videos, upcoming movie trailers (talking about trailers, you have to check out the new trailer for Wolfman, it is awesome!) sorry i strayed from the topic, got too excited, and practically watching anything that is in a video form!
YouTube was launched in 2005 that supports the most common video formats. Founded by three men formally working at PayPals - Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim with the slogan Broadcast Yourself. Video's are converted to Flash Video and users have to have a flash player to watch video's. YouTube began as an avenue for users to exchange video's among friends and family then grew into a platform for people to showcase their talents. Whether it is videography skill, or someone just trying to make a statement, YouTube began to overflow with video's. YouTube, even became the place for many to showcase their singing talents like YouTube's first star who now an award winning artist, Colbie Caillat! YouTube's main competitor is AOL, but in my opinion they've got nothing to worry about as YouTube is a phenomenon that's going to last for quite some time, don't you think so?
We'll that's all for my post this time, I hope that you guys will keep up with our blog and support us along the way. We value your comments and opinions very much.
Oh and here's the link to the Wolfman trailer I was talking about! Enjoy!
