New Form of Media Distribution Gets Honored


YouTube, the video-sharing website recently acquired by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, beat out a vaccine that prevents a cancer-causing sexually transmitted disease, a shirt that simulates a hug and other innovations, to grab top honors as Time magazine's "Invention of the Year for 2006."
Time magazine, owned by media conglomerate Time Warner Inc., wrote in an article that YouTube's scale and sudden popularity have changed the rules about how information , along with fame and embarrassment , gets distributed over the Web.
An article dated March 2006 publicizes Hollywoods notice of the media. YouTube had 27.6 million unique visitors in September, according to Nielsen NetRatings.

  • Sir,

    I find your blog highly illogical: It is both relevant and informative.

    I believe Earthlings will find this and future entries from you both entertaining and insightful. My friend Jim likes the "broadening horizons thing" a lot.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the One...or something like that.

    luv,

    spock
