I feel that this may drive even more users towards Youtube. I haven’t seen any other video sharing websites who are taking actions like this. Google is also playing it smart by allowing viewers to stream the Hangouts on Google+, which I’m sure they are hoping will bring in more users. Many businesses use Youtube for social media connections and advertising, including the equipment leasing company I work for. I wonder if Youtube will construct anything to appeal to the businesses using the site?

Many individuals and businesses think they need to hire professionals to create videos for them, but with the proper tools, most people can learn how to make and distribute engaging videos on their own. For example, my company, KZO Innovations (http://www.kzoinnovations.com) helps businesses without prior video experience to create, share, and track videos. Creating compelling video content is easy once you have the right tools!

This would be great to get some better quality videos on YouTube. Though I think this is a nice offering, I’m not sure it will improve YouTube’s standing as a professional site. Brands should be aware of other sites such as Vimeo to post their content.

If YouTube wants higher-quality content, they should provide a higher-paying incentive to create that content.

I also think YouTube flourishes on the fact that most videos are recorded on a whim, catching parts of everyday life that are interesting, quirky, funny, sad, and cool. It is a site built around home videos and low-budget shorts made by middle schoolers and their webcams. To ask more of uploaders becomes another site or business model completely separate from YouTube’s current state (which seems to be where it is trying to head).
