It's no secret that YouTube has embraced user generated video
since its inception. Armed with a video camera and an Internet
connection, anyone is able to contribute. We're seeing more and
more videogames starting to incorporate user generated content into
the gaming experience — so we often ask ourselves, why not
similarly empower gamers to share their experiences with each
other?

Enter Spore, the much
anticipated game from Electronic Arts and Maxis, which lets players
create their own alien creatures, import their creations into the
game world, and upload video of their creatures' moves directly
to YouTube from within the game. Additionally, all of the YouTube
community can enjoy: Spore's own href="http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=57960" >
YouTube Channel, which will showcase the most popular videos of
creatures fans and gamers create.

The creature creator is core to the Spore game experience, and
seamlessly integrates with YouTube. It will be released within the
commercial game and as a standalone free download for PCs prior to
the game’s launch. We anticipate that millions of creatures will be
created, many of which will be cropping up on YouTube.

Spore’s integration with
YouTube was made possible using the latest release of the href="http://code.google.com/apis/youtube" >YouTube Data API,
which is now publicly available and open to all developers.
Here's a glimpse of what you can create:

The Davos Question

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 @ 2:23 am

Posted by Ed Sanders, Product Marketing
Manager, YouTube Europe

Every year, many of the world's top leaders from politics,
business and the global community — including some of our own –
attend the World
Economic Forum
in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss how to make
the world a better place. This year, we wanted to give people
around the world the chance to join them, and help them, by
submitting their own answers to "the Davos Question,"
which is: "What one thing do you think that countries,
companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place
in 2008?"

So that's the question, but we all agree that it's finding
the answer which will be tough.

You may be familiar with the

href="http://www.youtube.com/debates" >CNN-YouTube U.S. presidential
debates
, which have made an enormous impact on interactive
politics as we know it. The interactive component here is similar,
but this is a global initiative where we are using the magic of

href="http://www.youtube.com/" >YouTube to create an ongoing
conversation between people in positions of authority, and those
whose lives their decisions affect every day. Before the success of
the CNN-YouTube initiative, such a conversation would never have
been thought possible. And now we're trying to take it to an
even more ambitious level.

We see the Davos Question as a means to let people everywhere get
close to, and influence, leaders whom they would never otherwise
have a chance to reach. Equally, however, we want to show the
actual participants at Davos the muscle with which YouTube is able
to make a difference. It's kind of a two-way street: we can let
everyday people into Davos, and at the same time we can show Davos
the views of everyday people. And this is where it gets
interesting. The YouTube community gets to vote and rank the
submitted videos, and the highest-ranked ones will be featured at
Davos. They will be used by the World Economic Forum to introduce
topics in the plenary sessions, and we will be showing them
directly to world leaders in the YouTube booth we are running
onsite at Davos. The ongoing video blogs from some of the most
influential people in the world which stem from the Davos Question
will, we hope, kickstart a mechanism to really make a
difference.

Can you help? You bet. Spend some time over the holiday season
thinking about your own answer to the Davos Question, and

onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://www.youtube.com/davos" >post a
response
through the cool gadget we've developed. Then
vote, rank, and encourage your friends and colleagues to get
involved.

Around here, we often talk about doing things which genuinely help
the world. We think this is one way we can truly make the world sit
up and take notice of what its people think about the most pressing
issues of our time. But this time, instead of having it lost in the
ether, we want to take it, wrap it up, and present it to some of
the most important leaders we have, when the whole world is
watching on YouTube.

A very special Christmas broadcast

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Sunday, April 27th, 2008 @ 1:36 am

1957 was a very special year for the British Monarchy. It had
already become an annual tradition for the monarch to issue a
Christmas message to people in the United Kingdom and around the
world. But fifty years ago this Christmas, Queen Elizabeth II's
message was televised for the first time.

In her broadcast, the Queen spoke about the technological
developments that allowed her image to appear in people's homes
around the nation, saying that "I very much hope that this new
medium will make my Christmas message more personal and direct.
That it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another
example of the speed at which things are changing all around
us."

This Christmas, fifty years later, we are thrilled to say that the
British Monarchy is embracing another new technology by launching
onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://www.youtube.com/theroyalchannel" >The
Royal Channel on YouTube. By setting up the first ever channel
from a monarchy, the Queen joins other world leaders including the
French President onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
href="http://www.youtube.com/nicolassarkozy"
>Nicolas Sarkozy and the

onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"

in using online video to communicate with people
around the globe.

Right now, you can visit The Royal Channel to see href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBRP-o6Q85s" >that first 1957
broadcast, along with other rare and previously unreleased
archive footage. And at around 3pm BST on Christmas Day, href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0nmkYGCljE" >this year's
Christmas broadcast from the Queen appeared on YouTube as well
as on television.

We're delighted to welcome the Queen to the YouTube community,
and hope that you enjoy the unseen treasures on her channel as much
as we have.

The year in YouTube politics

Filed under: Official Google Blog — Wrote by Lees on Sunday, April 27th, 2008 @ 1:36 am

Posted by Steve Grove, Head of YouTube
News and Politics

Candidates caught
singing on camera
. href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=nQi7PaYKqTU" >Dorm-room
presidential interviews. A martial arts master href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=EjYv2YW6azE" >endorsing a
presidential candidate. Citizen-created campaign href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=6h3G-lMZxjo" >commercials. And
two presidential
primary debates
. 2007 was quite a year for YouTube
Politics.

At this time last year, YouTube had developed a reputation as a
place where href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=r90z0PMnKwI" >"gotcha!"
videos posted by ciitzens were changing the political
landscape. Some even called the 2006 U.S. midterm elections
"the YouTube election" after several candidates were
caught on camera saying things they probably shouldn't have.
But in 2007, that changed. Seizing the YouTube opportunity,
presidential candidates came rushing to the platform themselves,
setting up official campaign channels on our href="http://youtube.com/youchoose" >You Choose '08
platform. Seven of the 16 presidential candidates even announced
their candidacies on YouTube.

Candidates and voters now speak to each other through video. At
their best, campaigns use YouTube not as a shrunken TV screen
through which to distribute their soundbites, but as a window
through which to have a dialogue with the American people.
YouTube's leveling effect is this: anyone can upload a video
with their political message, and the best content rises to the top
through community view counts, rankings, linkages, and embeds. Any
voter with a video camera and access to the Internet has the
opportunity to be seen and heard.

Our two presidential debates with CNN highlighted this phenomenon.
Eight thousand video questions were submitted for the two
record-setting debates, which opened up a traditionally closed
event to the rest of the world via YouTube. Time was, you had to be
in New Hampshire, Iowa, or Florida to get access to candidates at a
debate. With questions coming directly from voters via video, our
YouTube debates helped to break down some of the geographical
barriers that have so sharply defined American politics in the
past.

So what's ahead in 2008? Things are only going to get more
exciting. As Congressional and Senate races heat up, you'll see
more and more candidates coming to YouTube. And as the presidential
races narrows down to two candidates, YouTube will be a critical
battlefront in the general election. With voters, candidates, issue
groups, media companies, trade associations, lobbyists and
activists all interacting on the same level platform, 2008 promises
to be a true "YouTube Election.

There is a few inside ” 7 million person attends ” , ” the clique stops to keeping 3 days continuously ” and ” hot bath (free) ” the catchphrase of and so on.

But also have a few video, the world hegemony go-getting that wants to reveal a Jew to us ” fact ” . Of course, this is bullshit.

But how does YouTube face this kind of video to you can do again? Are they capable to check each uploading video? Not, of course cannot. I think whole society should (again) the action rises. Of course, video was hit flag, but that is insufficient. They must build one each to use the system that delete, perhaps allow an user to be hit to video turn over Judaic flag, let an employee check and be deleted next. Although they have system of a warning, but that is insufficient. The first mentioned video will go up in September from last year line, the 2nd is last year in November… but up to now whats did not happen…
