Sometimes abbreviated as
YT, YouTube was founded in February
15,
2005 and is the
hugely popular video sharing service that allows anyone to post any
appropriate video or vlog. Once
posted other YouTube users can post comments about the video, post
their YouTube video responses, and/or rate the video. Videos that are
uploaded to YouTube are converted to
Adobe Flash files so all users can easily view the videos without
having to worry about getting extra software or plug-ins. Below is an
example of a YouTube video Computer Hope made called "The YouTube
Cast", which features over 500 still shots from YouTube videos.
On October 9, 2006 Google announced
plans that it was purchasing YouTube for 1.65billion.
Information about downloading and saving a YouTube video to
your computer can be found on
