Youtube is your friend
YouTube Cofounder Chad Hurley spoke at the MIPCOM Conference in Cannes, France yesterday.In the talk, which is transcribed here, Hurley compares the current state of online video to the nascent years of television. In 1941, he says, “CBS has just launched its new television network amidst cries that it means the death of radio.” Advertisers were hard to come by. Content owners were afraid of alienating their existing audiences. etc.Key soundbites from the speech:
- YouTube wants to partner with content owners to help them “gain unprecedented reach and scope to touch new audiences”
I believe Chad Hurley - YouTube has added huge value for content producers over the past few months. Who would have thought those folks at Google were so darn smart?
