you tube

One of my new favorite websites is youtube.com. They are one of a few sites, like googlevideo that are allowing people to upload and share videos. It used to be that only professionals were able to make movies, but over the years, videocameras, computer, and bandwidth are all getting to the point where any shmoe with a camera can get their video on the web. I think this is a good thing, though I'm not sure why. Why do i end up watching (and linking to) this bullplop? Certainly the Urban Ninja deserves to showcase his skills with the world... ... but I'm not sure about guys who learn to beatbox over the Gilligan's Island song. Impressive, but why?
