"Smile" Your on YouTube

I am now an official member of youtube.com. This means that I can post my own movies for the viewing purposes of the "general" public. I was actually quite hesitant to post my movie on youtube.com because it is my first attempt and I'm still not sure if it is youtube worthy. I am also a bit weary of having some of my anonymity be discovered by viewers. Regardless it is quite an easy process to actually become of member of youtube and be able to post your videos. The purpose for our class was to post our videos on youtube and then use the youtube link to create our own podcasts. If someone had spoken that sentence to me a month ago my response would have been "wait, what"! In exploring youtube post my membership I decided to search for my movie. I typed in "Sailing" and to my surprise hundreds of movies with the same topic popped up. In order to access my video I realized I would have to type in the entire name or as much information about the title as possible so the explorer could locate it. Youtube has allowed so many "future" movie makers to create "rough drafts" of what could someday be muti-million dollar pictures!
