YouTube Gives You 15 Minutes Of Fame
Posted by Hooch Tan in "Digital Home News" @ 11:00 AM
"We want YouTube to be the best place to upload video. Without question, the number one requested feature by our creators is to upload videos longer than 10 minutes. We’ve heard you, and today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve increased the upload limit to 15 minutes."
While I am sure that many will welcome the increased time limit, I have to admit, in a way, I will miss the old limit. With 10 minutes, people were forced, if only gently, to keep their videos short and concise. Sort of like a Tweet. I kind of liked the idea that I could hop on, watch something quick, and then be done before the boss has a chance to notice what I am doing. An extra 5 minutes can make a entertaining video into a long, drawn-out affair. Anyone have plans to make use of your extra time? What will you do with it?
