Authors on Youtube

The great thing about Youtube is that you can share videos with everyone. Anything that you find remotely interesting, funny, or something you created yourself can have an audience. People from all walks of life can post whatever they like on Youtube. Where Youtube differs from social networking sites is that, while an author on Facebook can post pictures and alter their status, on Youtube, authors can be much more creative with multimedia tools. You can see the author if they place themselves in the video, or you can get a more descriptive point of view from a video on Youtube than you can a photo or a comment or status on a Facebook account. I feel like there are more creative or artistics options available to authors on Youtube. I think the reason why Youtube is called Youtube is because you, the individual post videos and watch them much like you would on tv or "the tube".
