Info vs Ads

Youtube is photo sharing service that allow user to share their photo and video with all the people around the world. http://www.techterms.com/definition/youtube. There are various kind of video that can we share in Youtube such as entertainment, Information, education, and others. In other word, we can  just simply search and find any type of video from Youtube.

In fact, nowadays Youtube user tend to upload their personal video to share with public as a trend especially for those who are actively using the internet. most of the popular  personal video that Youtube user share is such as information video sharing. Example the video that post by mahalodotcom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7X35UGU1X0&feature=relmfu. all of their video that they post is to share how to cooking and baking. For those who are interested and love to cooking and baking, this kind of video is really useful for them. Just like me, because I am also one of the Youtube user. If I feel want to bake a cheesecake  but don't know to bake it in the right way I  simply type "how to bake a cheese cake" and search at the Youtube.In a few second there a lot of video about what I am looking for will appear and  It really easy and there a lot of video that we can choose to watch and select. I just watch one of the video and just simply baked the cheese cake based on what I watch at the Youtube.

Beside that, what we can see from this second video are they trying to promoting their college/ University with others. They not just sharing their skill for baking but at the same time they are trying to persuade those who are love to baking can further study at their college/ University .They also want the people to know that their are offering the culinary course for those who are really interested to enhance their skill in baking.

In this point of view, what I can conclude is beside using the Youtube to share the useful video with those people outside there, some of the organization also using the advantages of the Youtube web as a medium to advertise their product to achieve their target and goal. With the advantages of the Youtube web also will not cost them a single cent and at the same time there can target many  people all around the world to watch the video with free. 

For those who are using the youtube in the right way, for sure there a lot of benefit that can we get through the video sharing in the youtube. and it really depend on us how we using the advantages of technology in the nowadays.  :-)

Make Up

Girls just love it!!!

When we talk about make up, the first thing came out from my mind is that YouTube. The reason why am I saying that is because I need the video of a person to do the demonstration step by step for the make up. It would be easier for us once we take a look at it. There are also lots of make up tutorial based on what function and what kind of make up that we want. The decision is in your hand where you just have to choose by clicking to the video.

Perhaps, we should take a look at one of the video for make up tutorial which capture my attention actually. The video above shows that how we can do a make up based on our creativity and I assume that we do not know the trick behind those make up. There are no more secret and no more trick to hide because anyone can learn and also do the same thing as what they have seen on YouTube. It's easy as ABC and 123.

Why YouTube?

First of all what you have to do is turn on your PC and straightly go to YouTube. That's easy. You don't have to attend grooming class or make up class as you don't have to pay anything when you watch video in YouTube. At this point, you can actually cut down your own budget. YouTube make our life more easier nowadays as we just have to be neither at home or while at work.

Make Money

Each and every post in YouTube I consider it as a making money process because automatically a person straightly promote the Make Up that they use in the video and also other accessories which is a good thing as well as a path to market their product.

Informative vs Entertainment

16 May 2012, Kolej Seroja, Kuching

Zaphne (Unimas Student)

When we sit near the chair and open the computer or laptop, the first thing that encounter our mind as a student is information or entertainment.  We read books, read the online news, read the online post in social networking and so forth, but have we ever wonder that the youtube has the power.  The power to give information and the the power to give entertainment.  Inasmuch, youtube were called as of "the power of giving".  According to online journal by Azim Jamal and Harvey Mckinnon, "A great guide to building a more caring world. Give a copy to everyone you love" http://www.thoughtignite.com/ebooks/thepowerofgiving.pdf.  So, this evidence already shows us that youtube not only giving entertainment but also information.

Before step to further details about what how informative vs entertainment.  I would like to share video which related with the entertainment.  This video is a music video by George Nozuka, a born Japanese Canadian guy.  The song is called "Lie to me".

Music video is a medium of entertainment.  It is some sort of communication media bellow music.  It is called as entertainment because when people feel bored, they will listen to music.  "Lie to me" is a song that talked about a guy who fall in love with a women and that women actually lie to him.  The lyrics tell that the man still want his women back and wondering why that women left him. It is a very nice song.  Furtermore, in certain issue, not only music video is entertainment instrument, other stuff also being called as entertainment.  For an example, a movie that being upload inside youtube.  This can be seen through, korean movie like in "Love Rain".

Love Rain is a korean drama about pure love in early 1970s.  The movie started with a men and women who meet in a university.  Their love life got a lot of problem.  However, for more information about this movie, you can watch it at youtube itself.

Funny video by Ryan Higa also called as entertainment because people laugh.  Who is Ryan Higa?  Is he Ryanman or is he Ryan Bieber or just a joker.  It is something you should watch by your own.

Music, drama or movie, funny video and many more that related with entertain people are entertainment.  Entertainment according to Stephen Bates and Anthony J. Ferri in their article What’s Entertainment? Notes Toward a Definition"entertainment is whatever individuals find entertaining" http://pcasacas.org/SiPC/33.1/Bates_Ferri.pdf.  

How about information?  What is actually information?  Information based on business dictionary is  Dta that (1) has been verified to be accurate and timely, (2) is specific and organized for a purpose, (3) is presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance, and (4) that can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty.

So, in this context, how youtube can be part of information source can be seen through this video:

Actually this video may look simple but by watching this video, we can understand more better about cultivation theory more better compare with reading books.  This probably because people understand what they see more than what they read.  Here, it is believe that human being are more attracted to something moving and colourful things.  So, this is why youtube were said as giving an information.  Other than this video, i would like to share about some other video that also functioning as informative medium.  The video is about makeup tutorial by Michelle Phan.

Therefore, the youtube power is unlimited.  Its depend on how people want to use it.  Whether you want to used it as entertainment or as information source.  Its in your hand.  The choice is yours.

This is what we called as Informative versus Entertainment.

Hahahahaha.... See ya again. :D

Based on the video about, the video shown how a person can hack others computer password. Just imagine, if each and everyone doing the same thing, I am pretty sure that this matter can create big problem to those who want privacy in their life.

Do you know what is piracy?

What is piracy?

The term of piracy is generally used to describe the deliberate infringement of copyright on a commercial scale. In relation to the music industry it refers to unauthorised copying and, in this context, falls into 4 categories:

Physical music piracy

Physical music piracy is the making or distribution of copies of sound recordings on physical carriers without the permission of the rights owner. The term "piracy" refers to activities that are of a commercial nature, including activities that cause commercial harm. The packaging of pirate copies may or may not be different from the original. Pirate copies are often compilations, such as the "greatest hits" of a specific artist, or a collection of a specific genre, such as dance tracks.

Counterfeits

Counterfeits are one type of physical piracy - These are recordings made without required permission, which are packaged to resemble the original as closely as possible. The original artwork is reproduced, as well as trademarks and logos in some cases, and IS likely to mislead the consumer into believing that they are buying a genuine legitimate product.

Bootlegs

Bootlegs are the unauthorised recordings of live or broadcast performances. They are duplicated and sold - sometimes at a premium price - without the permission of the artist, composer or record company.

Internet Piracy

"Internet piracy" is commonly used to refer to a variety of unauthorised uses of music or other creative content on the internet.

"Internet piracy" refers in particular to acts of infringements on the internet that are of a commercial nature - not necessarily due to the motivation of the perpetrator. While some internet pirates generate income from their activity, many people engage in such acts for other, non-commercial reasons - and they all can cause enormous commercial damage.

The term is also often used to refer more generally to any use of creative content on the Internet that violates copyright, whether via websites, P2P networks, or other me
