YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 Grand Finale: A new kind of Music

Can you imagine life before YouTube? I guess you can- it was boring for many of us. Google has changed life of many people and on 20 March 2011, we will see a good example of this change through YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 Grand Finale. It will be broadcast live here: http://www.youtube.com/symphony

The event will take place in Australia. It really does not matter if you live in Australia or not. You can enjoy the event live. Even if you miss the live program, you can later watch it. Musicians from around the world are taking part in this competition.

Internet is a great tool and Google has made many impossible things possible.

Thanks to YouTube, I could watch many of my old favorite TV programs and movies that I thought that were lost forever. 

Want to Work for YouTube: This is your Best Chance!

Google wants to give a very big push for YouTube in 2011. The website is very popular and Google wants to make it more popular and perhaps wants to earn some real money from now. So, it has announced to increase the number of workers by 30% for YouTube.

Don’t worry if you do not live in USA. Google is calling for applications from people around the world. All you need is the talent and skill. If you think that you have the skill then why not give it a shot because Google is perhaps the best company on earth to work for.

There are many facilities. Well, I like two aspects of the company a lot. First of all, I am a food lover and Google has all the free food items to offer for its workers- just kidding. On a serious note, the thing that I really like about Google is the matter is that the company gives a lot of opportunities to the workers to carry out research.

She is going to represent her country in upcoming Miss World 2007 too. Micaela Patrícia Reis performed very well in Miss Universe 2007. I saw a video of Micaela Patrícia Reis in YouTube. Actually, this video shows her brief moments in Miss Universe 2007. It is only 1 minute and 10 second long but it shows her in bikini. She looks hot and gorgeous. She also looks confident. So, enjoy the video.

Video of Miss Tourism Queen International

Miss Tourism Queen International 2007 is now going on in China. You will have to wait another few days to know the final result. Unfortunately, there is not good media coverage of the event and the organizers are busier with the contest itself and do not care that much to ensure good coverage in Internet.

Well, if you are not so happy about getting information of Miss Tourism Queen International 2007 then you can always go back to the past and enjoy the video of Miss Tourism Queen International 2006 in YouTube. The video is just nearly 2.30 minutes long but you will enjoy the beautiful contestants.

Video: Marion Bartoli in YouTube

I don’t need to tell you who Marion Bartoli is. She is a French Tennis player and she managed to become runners-up in Wimbledon 2007. So, she is famous now. She deserves to be famous and she is a gentle person. She also loves humor and she is not too eager to show her body or portray herself as a sexy tennis player. That is why, I like her so much. She is a hardworking girl and she is very close to her father. Bartoli is trying very hard to break into the top flight of professional tennis. Fortunately, she is receiving all the support from her father.

I found two nice videos about Bartoli in YouTube. The first video is 38 seconds long and it shows the playing style of Marian Bartoli. She is good in the base line. Even today, she was good from baseline against Venus Williams. In the first video, you can see Bartoli playing in the base line.

The second video just 4 seconds long and it depicts the serve of Bartoli. Well, I am not happy with this video. It does not show all the rituals that she undergoes when serving.

Everyone loves Ana Ivanovic. She is the sexy heart throb of women’s tennis today. Just search her name in Google and you will find so many materials in Internet. Well, she has just started to become the sex symbol of tennis. So, it will take some time for website and blog owners to put an abnormal amount of content about Ivanovic in Internet. If you are looking for a video interview of Ana Ivanovic then you should go to YouTube.

In fact, after this entry, I have embedded a YouTube video on interview of Ivanovic. The video is 6 minutes and 12 seconds long and it is from BBC. Needless to say that Ivanovic looks beautiful and gorgeous here.

Ana Ivanovic Interview in YouTube

YouTube is the best place on earth for finding great videos about everything and everyone. So, I thought that I would find some cool videos of Ana Ivanovic in YouTube. Well, I felt disappointed to see that I could not find anything special of Ivanovic in Wimbledon in YouTube. If she can reach into the final then may be we will see more videos of her in YouTube.

Here is a video of a short interview of Ana Ivanovic in YouTube. Its length is just 1 minute and 59 seconds. So, enjoy the video of Ana Ivanovic.

Do you know about any more videos of Ana Ivanovic taking part in Wimbledon 2007?

Google Explains video ID Tools of YouTube

YouTube is now one of the top 5 websites in the world. Everyday, millions of people visit YouTube and enjoy the videos uploaded there by the users. Many companies are sensitive about the copyright issue. Of course, some videos get posted and they are copyrighted materials. Well, it happens to any user generated website all the time. I mean, it is impossible to keep watch of the materials that are getting posted in every minute.

There has been some criticism against Google about the posting of copyrighted materials in YouTube. Now, in its official blog Steve Chen, YouTube co-founder has given a detailed explanation about this matter with the entry:

The state of our video ID tools

In this entry, Steve Chen has talked in details about what YouTube officials are doing to fight against copyrighted materials and indecent videos. He wrote:

If a content owner identifies material that she doesn’t want on YouTube, she can request its removal with the click of a mouse. If particular users repeatedly infringe copyrights, we terminate their accounts. We have long made a practice of creating a unique "hash" of every video removed for alleged copyright infringement and blocking re-uploads of the hash. We educate users on what is and isn’t permissible under the law. Our upcoming video identification system will be our latest way of empowering copyright holders, going above and beyond legal requirements.

I guess that many companies will not get satisfied with this reply from Google. On the other hand, many companies will feel assured to see that Google is trying to fight back and prevent unauthorized copyrighted materials being posted in YouTube.

Jim Carrey: Afraid of YouTube

Jim Carrey is a very funny actor. He can make you laugh all the time and he is natural in acting. It seems that Jim Carrey is a bit afraid of YouTube. He feels that he is lucky to start acting before the YouTube era.

China Daily reported:

Carrey says, "I used to really want to be famous and now everyone is doing it.

"YouTube is everywhere. There's a plumber right now who's mining a fortune from his butt crack I'm sure."

Jim Carrey is a modest person but he is right too. YouTube is changing everything and I am sure that it is going to have a huge impact on the entertainment industry in the coming days. So, if you want to be the next Jim Carrey, you better start at YouTube.

YouTube Channel from Deutsche Welle (DW)

Deutsche Welle is a very popular radio and TV station and it is in fact run by German government. It has joined the YouTube band wagon and now Deutsche Welle has a channel in YouTube.

Variety reported:

The initiative follows recently launched YouTube outlets from other international broadcasters such as BBC Worldwide and Al Jazeera English.

Holger Hank, head of new media at DW, said the growing number of users who specifically look for video content on the Internet moved the pubcaster to launch its own YouTube channel offering selected material from Deutsche Welle.

It will surely help Deutsche Welle to be more accessible to more listeners and viewers from around the world. I guess that it is time that other media organizations join YouTube and Google becomes only bigger.

"Claim Your Content" in YouTube: A Smart Move from Google

I guess YouTube is now the fourth most popular website in the world according to Alexa ranking. Millions of people are visiting YouTube every month and they are uploading and enjoying videos. The bad side is that anyone can upload anything in YouTube and many copyrighted materials are being uploaded every minute in YouTube. This is not a good thing for entertainment companies and they are very angry with Google.

Google is trying to fight back and has come up with a very smart idea of "Claim Your Content". This will give the entertainment companies to remove any copyrighted materials from YouTube easily and quickly.

CBC News reported:

CEO Eric Schmidt said a "Claim Your Content" option would soon appear on the site to make it easier for copyright holders to report infringements on YouTube.

The new software will not restrict uploading or downloading of copyrighted material, but will allow owners to more easily search for and flag material they wish to be removed.

I think that it will satisfy many entertainment companies. In Internet, it is difficult to control users. YouTube is so popular website that trying to control it will be an impossible task for anyone. So, if the companies can remove their materials then they will be happy.
