YouTube
How has no one talked about this yet? I cannot be the only one who ends up sitting and watching twenty different videos in a row after looking for “just one” small distraction.
YouTube is fabulous. Not only can you find all the music videos of the artists you already love but you can also end up discovering new talent that will make you seem totally hip once you share it with your friends. Or you can just shake it with Taylor on repeat. Your choice. I think my favorite part about the site is that it allows the public to upload their own videos. . Whether you think you’re a singer, a comedian, or the next Bam Margera you only need to share your video to find out what the world thinks. And they will tell you what they think. Hours, no, days of entertainment can be found on this site.
I think the best design aspect of the site is the bar along the right side of the screen that shows videos similar to the one you’re currently viewing. From a visitor’s standpoint there is no easier way to lose track of time. Plus it’s such a simple tactic to get the viewer to stay on the site.
Remember last week when we talked about what the most embarrassing thing we have on the web is? YouTube claims mine. The last five years have taught me nothing in regards to my dance skills. Whatever, I’ll just keep shake, shake, shaking it off.
