You Tube —

Sorry if I haven't posted anything here on Viewpoints in awhile but I just got a new digital camera and I been trying to make some videos believe it or not. Now the idea of putting my ugly mug on film may not sound that appealing to anyone but the main reason I'm doing this to finally get myself on a cool little website called You Tube. Now if you don't know what this website is all about here's a review.

You Tube is basically a video sharing website where people from around the world can post videos of themselves or whatever on almost any subject they like. If you want to talk about what's in the news, act something out, or you want to rant on a subject all you have to do aim a camera or webcam at yourself and talk away. The next step is to post your crazy video to see what kind of feedback you get. It's sure a fun way to express yourself or you can just sit back and watch the opinions or craziness of other users out there.

Since I love video games, of course, some of my favourite videos are the game reviewers. The funny thing about a lot of these guys and girls is they have the freedom to swear and many of the reviews are completely uncensored and can get pretty brutal. Just see a few reviews from the YouTuber's Angry Video Game Nerd, Urinating Tree, Bookitty and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Now the website may sound pretty good up to this point but You Tube isn't perfect. If you are looking for certain clips of your favourite TV shows or you want to see scenes from an old movie you may not be able to find it on You Tube here. The site has strict rules about having any offensive, copyrighted material on it so it's not uncommon for some videos to suddenly appear only to get removed a short time later. The site also has a lot of spammer and annoying people that like to leave rude remarks in the comment section but there ways to block these buggers at least.

Despite a few problems here and there You Tube is still an awesome and innovative website that has a huge community behind it. Not only is there tons of videos on everything you could imagine and there is a lot of undiscovered talent too. It's definitely one of those must visit websites.

I also have a page there too if you want to see. Warning, I do swear a bit as well:
