-"YouTube is an [insanely] popular free video sharing website which lets users upload, view, and share video clips. Videos can be rated, and the average rating and the number of times a video has been watched are both published."
-As of 2006, users were watching about 100 million clips a day on the site. I can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that number has risen meaningfully since.
-Probably the three most important things to know about YouTube from a "leadership perspective" are that
-a) It can be intelligently leveraged to promote a cause or person to the world at large. We're talking big league, free exposure for anyone with the creativity and talent to post interesting content
-b) The site was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion in cash and stock and
-c) There are serious questions about YouTube's responsibility (and ability) to prevent users from illegally posting copyrighted content on the site.
