YouTube Partner Program

Many of you tech savvy video makers out there are or aspire to be a YouTube partner,I know I do.Even if you do not make regular videos for YouTube,you may or may not be familiar with the YouTube Partnership program.To get everyone on the same page,let me explain what the YouTube partner program is exactly.

First off,YouTube Partners are a select group of people who have gathered a decent following on YouTube.This means you get a fair amount of views,comments,rating,and subscribers from each of your videos.To become a YouTube Partner,you must fill out an application.To be honest,I think the hardest part is the wait time to get feedback if you were accepted or not.I have heard of some people who say it took them nine months to find out they didn’t make it,ouch! If your lucky,it usually takes anywhere from two months to a year.Some people never hear back and have to call YouTube Support.Anyways,regardless of the long wait period,becoming a YouTube partner is definitely worth it.A few of the features you get are;creating your own custom thumbnail,scheduling videos release times,a banner on your channel page,unlimited video size,beta testing,and of course GET PAID! Now I know these are only a few of the many features of being a YouTube Partner,but you get the gist of it.Being a YouTube Partner really can benefit you in a lot more ways than you thought.Maybe one day you too could be like Shane Dawson,who makes an estimated $315,000 each year from YouTube,making him the most paid person on YouTube!

Vimeo

Today I would like to review a video hosting/sharing website called Vimeo.Now I know what your thinking,whats the point of using something like Vimeo or Metacafe,when there is really one main powerhouse that dominants the market,YouTube.I totally understand your logic on that,in fact YouTube is the only video sharing website I use. Hopefully from doing these series of articles,I will try to convince myself and others to become more open minded,and realize that there are good alternatives out their. I will try to not make this a YouTube vs Vimeo,but it may seem like that because I am trying to present a foreign platform to most people through a known example(ie.Youtube)Now onto the review!
Vimeo is a video sharing site similar to YouTube with a little over 3 million members in its community. Vimeo is very similar to YouTube in the aspect that you upload videos for other viewers to see,comment,rate,etc.The main difference between these two media sharing sites,is content. On YouTube you can find a video on anything,and I mean ANYTHING.Whereas Vimeo is molded more towards musicians,independent film makers,indie artists,etc. The reason for this is because Vimeo is very strict on uploading content that is not yours/Copyrighted.This is really the ultimate reason why Vimeo is not as popular because you will never see game plays,concerts,commercials,unless you are given the creators permission witch rarely happens.I honestly think Vimeo is meaning well by doing this,but in todays market it will be very hard to succeed with such limiting restrictions. This could mean a good thing though,because people that see your work on Vimeo will know for a fact that the content is “yours”. One thing that impressed me about Vimeo,was the strong and supportive community.Browsing through the Vimeo forums,I found that most of the users are a very mature and polite group. Not that YouTube’s users are bad,but you are bound to have a few sour apples in the lot. Overall,Vimeo’s users are a neat and tight knit community.

No harsh feeling towards Vimeo,but I honestly think you would be best off to stick with your YouTube account.Sorry Vimeo, but YouTube’s Google integration,many millions of viewers, nice user interface, and great quality compare close to none.If you are looking for a great place to publish that new piece of violin music you composed,and don’t want to stress about someone infringing you Copyright,then Vimeo is the place to go.In most other cases,I would stick with YouTube.

Vimeo Rating:6/10

What are your thoughts about Vimeo? Are there any other video sharing sites that you would recommend(besides YouTube)?
Stay Tuned for an upcoming review of Metacafe!

Cleverbot

Awhile back,I discovered a diamond in the rough”interactive chat”(Cleverbot) that proved to be quite amusing and awkward. Pretty soon,It  caught on and it was everywhere.I still remember seeing the computer kiosk at the library full of people on Cleverbot,chatting away with a dull AI.The latter is what made this “game” so amusing and entertaining.

Cleverbot is an interesting little chat bot that responds back to whatever you “say” to him.Conversations can become very interesting, especially if you make the conversation awkward by saying odd and random things. One thing that does get a bit annoying is that  seventy percent of the times,Cleverbot’s response will be nothing relevant to what you said to him. Even though this maybe annoying,it can still prove for a pretty interestingly humorous conversation.

As much as you may think,you are never communicating with a human.There is even a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen alerting you of this.It also warns you that the Cleverbot picks up from what other humans have said to him,so you don’t get mad when out of the blue Cleverbot is cussing you out.

As cheesy or pointless as this “interactive game” as I like to put it may seem,It can definitely act as a time killer or boredom buster.Whats that,you don’t have a computer near your during your periods of boredom.Well lucky for you there is an Official Cleverbot application for both Android and IOS platforms.The only bad thing is that the apps are 1.99,and I don’t know anyone that would pay to talk to a scatterbrained robot.

Overall,Cleverbot is a great source of entertainment that has become quite popular among people over all demographics.

Leeroy Jenkins!!!

I knew from the start of this blog that I HAD to post this. There is just no way I would go my whole blogging life without covering this. First of all,this perfectly represents a typical scenario my friends and I encounter once in awhile.

So what happens is, you and your friends are closely planing an elaborate strategy to defeat an enemy in a game such as World of Warcraft.Then, without your knowing a team member leaves to go do something before coming back without any idea about whats going on. Worst cast scenario is that you’re unattentive teammate goes running into the battlefield screaming his name. *sigh*

 

Trololo

Odds are that you have seen this Soviet-Era video,which has now became one of todays most popular Internet “memes”. The video is most known among Internet Trolls who spend their time on forums trying to start arguments,usually about religion,politics,9/11,Holocaust,etc.This music video was no where near being made for that purpose,but its weirdness and unique hue quickly caught on. I will warn you though,no matter what your intentions for watching the video are.The song gets easily stuck in your head and you find yourself replaying and replaying.
