I realized today that I have a tendency to ignore YouTube.
In my lists of social networks, I always overlook the top provider of video on the Internet along with Hulu, Akamai and other video content providers. YouTube has been around longer than most established social networks and remains a steadfast contributer of video content.
The White House had initially decided to use YouTube as its medium for Obama's "fireside chats," but now they're going with Akamai instead. The videos will still be posted to YouTube, but the videos embedded on the White House website will be using the lesser known content delivery site.
However, a professor at an Australian university still supports the value of YouTube. He is currently posting videos of his lectures on YouTube in order to allow high school students unable to commute to the university the opportunity to obtain college credit if they so wish.
YouTube is far from its last cry, and I predict that it will continue to remain one of the strongest and best marketed social networks for years to come.
