YouTube is a video sharing service
which allows users to use videos posted by others users and upload videos of
their own (by themselves).
This service started as an independent
website at the beginning of the XXI century but was purchased by Google in
2006, just one year after its creation. Videos uploaded to YouTube can appear
both on the YouTube website or on different websites since the files are freely
shared.
The motto or slogan of the website is
'Broadcast Yourself', which means that the service was designed primarily for
ordinary people who want to publish videos they have created but in an very
easy way, with no technological complications at all.
We could state that for
cultural purposes, business interests or just for pure fun, countless people
visit YouTube almost every second all over the world, this way having become a
powerful tool in the technological world.
