Considering I used a YouTube video in a previous post; not to mention Google bought YouTube for $1.65B in stock I’m guessing everyone knows about them. If for some reason you’ve never heard of YouTube, below is a little description:
About YouTube
Founded in February 2005, YouTube is a consumer media company for people to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. YouTube allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.YouTube.com and across the Internet through websites, blogs, and e-mail. YouTube currently delivers more than 100 million video views every day with 65,000 new videos uploaded daily and it has quickly become the leading destination on the Internet for video entertainment.
Why should I use this site?
Beyond the obvious, that video can be more telling of a vacation destination than pictures, YouTube has the viral effect. You can post, embed, share videos with anyone. It’s very easy. Check out the two videos below:
This family vacation has been viewed by more than 14,000 people.
This video highlights a condo rental on the Gulf of Mexico and has been viewed by more than 7,000 viewers.
The rental owners even put links to their property profiles:
YouTube is worth looking closely at as an avenue to display your videos — especially the property managers that have quality videos about their destination as well as properties.
