So I have heard that Yahoo is going to offer a competitor to
YouTube. I am kind of excited about this
idea.
Don't get me wrong. I
love YouTube. Anyone who has read this
blog knows that I watch a lot of JVloggers, and spend more time than I should
watching old TV shows and clips online.
I even have some videos on YouTube.
I think I have about ten. They
haven't gone viral (and I wouldn't receive any money even if they did) and only
one of then has had a really strong number of views--though I am not sure what
the attraction is, and nobody has commented on it.
I guess I just want to be there, on the ground floor when it
happens. While it won't be a new thing
(like YouTube was), I would like to say I was there from the beginning. I want to be one of the originals, even
though the idea won't be that original.
There are problems, however.
What kind of content should I put up?
I am not in Japan ,
so JVlogging is out. I live in Canada , and
while I love my country, I cannot see any blogging potential there. I love my hobbies, but since I switch them
around so much and am rather lax on completion, I am not sure there is anything
there either. I love to rant (check out
my other blog site to see what I mean) but I have a face for radio--and who
would want to see a static image of a wall or picture while I rant away?
I am excited and I want to participate, but I don't know
how.
On another note, I still don't know what they are going to
call this thing. YouTube is a brilliant
name. Yahoo tube sounds derivative. YahooTV doesn't sound cool. They already have Yahoo Screen--so I guess
that's not it. I suppose, if I were to
name it, I would call it OnYahoo.
I think you should do your weekly quiz. Maybe just the writing on the screen if you don't want to appear. Other people would find it entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI guess you mean for my English students. I think its a good idea. I am not opposed to appearing on camera, just a little worried about looking goofy.
DeleteI still haven't heard about this new service--though, I think it won't be open to everyone right away.
