YouTube To Allow Mobile Uploads
YouTube, the pre-eminent (but certainly not the only) video upload site is now allowing uploads directly from mobile phones. You think YouTube has gone viral now? Just wait!
As it tries to expand the ways people can post videos online, YouTube launched on Wednesday a service that allows users to upload homemade clips via their mobile phones or PDAs.
A growing number of handheld devices are capable of recording video. YouTube wants to disconnect users from their Web cams and computers, said Steve Chen, one of the company’s founders and its chief technology officer.
Most user-created clips are taken with Web and digital video cameras, Chen said. The new service will likely produce greater numbers of spontaneous and candid clips.
“The good thing about it is that you don’t have to go home to YouTube anymore,” Chen said. “People may not carry their digital cameras with them when they go out. But everybody carries their cell phone…I’m interested in seeing what kind of content this will produce.”
Personally, I prefer Vimeo, but this is definitely a cool new development.
