YouTube, the video search site that invites consumers to post and share videos, has tweaked its site in response to Yahoo's new viral video offering. YouTube members can now aggregate videos that they
created or they can assemble a collection of video from other sources. The changes are a strategy to encourage communities around user-created and curated channels.
YouTube also says that it
will invite members to upload a video in response to another video on the channel where they find it. In addition, the company is offering a tool that will enable users to more easily link videos
inside blogs and measure the number of times the videos are linked or embedded on other pages.
YouTube now attracts about 50 million views and 50,000 video uploads each day. Now how do you
think it will keep those numbers up? Let us know....
