today in class we checked out and analyzed different  video sharing web sites. the first one most of the class including me checked out was Youtube.com.

www.youtube.com - you tube is a great website where you can find almost any sort of video whether it is to help you do something or just simply to listen to music it has a wide variety of videos. The site also allows you to create an account and upload videos of your own and also giving you the choice to follow other video makers. you can rate, add to favorites and leave comments on the makers profile and video. In a sense you can use you tube to contact people so it may be used a s a social networking site if thats what you want to use it for. you tube also has a legal copyright act on videos this means if you make a video and upload it on you tube with a sound track on it youtube will scan the track to see if it is an copyright offense. if in some case it is they shall remove the track from you video but leave the video uploaded. 

google video's - Google videos gives you very little choice in comparison to you tube but it does have a fair range of choice. unlike you tube Google video's does not let you comment or rate a video but only watch. the site does however allow you to upload a video if you have an account with google. the quality on google video's is not the best but is ok for small screen viewing.

today we also had a go at Photoshop editing software and personally im not keen on the layout or the functions. we edited pictures
