Not your average geek.
Daily Tech is reporting that YouTube--everyone's favorite video blogging site that has brought us such wonders as the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment and its numerous derivatives, the Steve Colbert Green Screen Contest entries and CatHead Theater--is one of Time magazine's inventions of the year. They credit the success of the site, which has grown to host 100 million videos, to the intersection of 3 phenomena: 1) the enablement of fast, cheap video development, 2) the emergence of social networking, ala Web 2.0, and 3) the consumer's impatience with mainstream news. I'd add to that list a fourth: the tremendous dearth of good TV entertainment.
