  3. Business Model • Before being bought by Google, YouTube stated that its business model is advertising-based. • Some industry commentators have speculated that YouTube's running costs — specifically the bandwidth required — may be as high as $1 million per-month, thereby fueling criticisms that the company, like many Internet start-ups, did not have a viably implemented business model.

  4. Pros • Ease of use • Easy to upload and view videos • Sense of Community • Comment on other people's video's • Can be viewed on any computer with an Internet connection

  5. Cons Flawed tagging system Problem similar to meta-data descriptions in the old days of Internet searching Relatively difficult to find videos Search depends on flawed tagging system and title of video Legality of certain content is still in question

  6. ABC & FOX Online TV

  7. Business Models Ads are shown at certain points during the episode. Similar to commercials on television.

  8. Pros High quality legal content Updates are quick and guaranteed Can be viewed on any computer with an Internet connection (ABC)

  9. Cons Limited to the shows that are available on the website Required to install an ActiveX control, which only works on Windows with Internet Explorer (FOX) No community Ads are repetitive and become annoying

  10. Joost is an interactive software for distributing TV shows and other forms of video over the Web using peer-to-peer technology, created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa). The teams are currently in negotiations with TV networks. It has signed up with Warner Music and production company Endemol for the beta.

  11. Pros/Cons High Quality videos Bandwidth issues are gone due to P2P • Not easily viewable on any computer • Business model is not clear. Possibly commercials similar to television • Lacks many Web 2.0 characteristics such as a community and customization.

  14. Allows users to tag any video they watch, utilizing social intelligence for a possibly better search A voting system similar to digg to ensure only correct, popular tags are given priority “Channels” can be created and shared where similar shows are continuous played. Users can recommend shows to their friends. Recommendations can also generated based on viewing habits.
