YouTube for Business
December 2, 2009 | 3 Comments
With the end of my social media journey I have been wondering whether YouTube can be classified under the social media banner or not. YouTube equals Video. Not any video, but generally self produced, short video (10 minutes or less). There is a section for shows, which are longer in length, but are mostly episodes of television shows.
For me social media is interactive and usually involves conversations, however, there is a lot of push going on where the conversation is started and then comprises mostly of replies. This is not always a bad thing: just an observation. Videos on YouTube are similar in the way that a video is posted and people can leave comments. Therefore, I am going to classify it for my journey, as social media. Though I am sill not 100% convinced it should be.
