On the road to mastering YouTube

YouTube

Uploading
            Any YouTube users can upload videos. Most personal users can upload videos up to 15 minutes each in duration and will require special verification of the account for the users to upload longer videos. Users can also manage the settings of the video and will show number of views once uploaded.

Music
Expanding its market, Youtube now features the music page. The music page automatically brings the different music videos or lives suited for your interest

Watch Later
            On YouTube, there is watch later button that allows user to watch Youtube videos at later time. It is shown as the plus sign, +, and once clicked will remember the video. It is used in instances where user wants or has to see in later time.

Subscription
          This feature enables users to follow some specific channels in YouTube. Similar to news dashboard on Facebook, YouTube subscription can provide interesting videos for users.

Targeted Advertising.
          This targeted advertising generates the customized advertisement for each user. For example, if I searched about basketball, then basketball related commercials automatically were shown. Underlying reason for expensive price of advertising through YouTube.
