Irish playwright Oscar Wilde once mused, “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.” In our society, it is a common dream to experience celebrity, to know what it is like to be recognized, talked about, and emulated. Historically, only a select few have attained celebrity status but thanks to the video sharing website YouTube, everyday people are becoming well-known and part of the common language of our culture. While it seems clear that the online video phenomenon is just beginning, it remains to be seen whether the site YouTube will last. As learned from many fleeting web successes, YouTube’s current status as the eighth most viewed website in the United States does not guarantee its continued success. The longevity of the hot spot will depend on Google’s application of its existing strengths to YouTube and its willingness to continuously revolutionize the site to ensure that it evolves along with copyright law and the culture.
