The YouTube Effect

Many people have been talking about the Digg effect and how digg.com has brought "attention span" to the web.

Today I want to talk abut YouTube. I was watching a video from Google about YouTube and the effect it's having on the internet, and a particular frame of this video caught my attention.

It said, "33 Tarzan movies have been made since 1933. 8950 Tarzan YouTube videos have been made since 2005."

Now not all those 8950 are full length feature productions, (in fact probably none of them), but it does raise one point. The effect of YouTube, despite all it's bad press is generally good. It inspires creativity.

And thats certainly not a bad thing.
