YouTube

YouTube,unlike the all time favourite Facebook and MySpace is a social network more on video-oriented social network.I frankly and personally do not prefer both of them since i just love the way YouTube introducing video as the platform of sharing.Today May 17 is the fifth anniversary of YouTube,currently is the most expensive by value social network,worth more than breathtaking $ 1.6 billion dollars.The attention of YouTube skyrocketing after bought by Google Inc. in November 2006.Enough of background highlighting,I will introduce some of the hard elements in YouTube that attracts billions of people around the globe to connects in the website.

YouTube homepage as for May 17 2010.Note that May 17 is 5th Anniversary of the social network and still standing strong despite it's notorious cosmetic changes disliked by users.

High Definition Content




YouTube currently holding hundreds millions of videos on its monstrous server just to keep the company running.I have no idea what monster server army they have to hold that amount of video and still,the video buffering is super fast.Having fast internet connection is real advantage to view High Definition video content.

In video player layout you can find,where in High Definition enabled option,there are three settings of video quality.Even with 720p selected,meaning 1280x720pixel video at 30 frames per second my internet connection can handle the streaming well.Lower resolution meaning faster buffering.

Some video also support the 1080 mode,meaning a video with Full High Definition mode,1920x1080 at 30 frames per second.For the social network category,i find YouTube is the fastest video streaming website,especially when bought by Google when you have an access to stream mass stream of data to whole world.
