YouTube to Launch Short-Form Video Service in Response to TikTok

The platform will also be launching an integrated shopping feature where audiences can purchase directly from channels through tagged products, as well as expanding their chapters feature which allows creators to timestamp their video timeline. What gets left out of this story is the fact that -- like most Apple products, like most presidents -- the anticipation of a product release can easily overshadow any actual value. I've already made two more, scheduled to be release the next two Saturdays! It made its debut through the "invite" system that was in vogue in 2009, like the tremendous Google Voice, and like Voice, it spread into the culture through the people most likely to turn backflips on release day, and of course most likely to talk about it for at least the two weeks either side. “Every year, increasing numbers of people come to YouTube to launch their own channel,” Mohan wrote. In a recent blog post, chief product officer Neal Mohan revealed that YouTube Shorts will be launching in beta to the U.S.

Applause will show at the top of the video for others to see, and a portion of the revenue goes to the creator. TikTok’s ability to viral, combined with the audience’s desire for unfiltered, off-the-cuff content, has made the app a creator favourite, with many choosing to focus primarily on growing their TikTok account. And certainly not when portability between devices and screens had already become the new measure of a killer app. The world of squirreled-away factlets and quotations remains firmly under the regime of those app developers with the leanest extensions and the simplest features. YouTube Shorts is one piece of a larger strategy to keep creators engaged on the app. With the unfathomable success of TikTok- which has tripled its user base since 2018 and is forecasted to cross the 1 billion monthly active user mark this year- platforms like YouTube and Instagram are struggling to keep up. YouTube is the latest platform to capitalise off TikTok’s success.

The bite-sized video sharing platform now sees more than 3.5 billion daily views globally. While I can't say I remember having heard of every item on this list, what's fascinating is seeing the details and features of these projects, now evolved, present in more mainstream successes. More tree tutorials on the way! The reach of Google, its omnipresence -- from software to hardware to personal search results to location metrics to blog publishing -- has become a fact of life as quickly as the Internet has grown and changed, finding its way into our daily lives at every turn. Perhaps if there had been any outstanding problems in the Wikipedia interface, Knol would have had a shot, but the fact is that Wikipedia's pretty solid, offering enough usefulness to every level of user -- from the novice, to experts on the very subjects they're reading about, which is pretty amazing if you think about it -- that everyone is welcome both to search and to provide the information being searched, often at once. Again, we see the crowdsourced chaos of a Wikipedia in YouTube, with user-administrated levels of appreciation and reputation bringing the cream to the surface. At least until they've folded back into YouTube, presumably. This was c re ated by G SA C onte​nt Generato​r  DEMO !

In any case, the tablet revolution has brought the cycle back around: Now, we read magazines on something shaped like a magazine, rather than reading blog posts on something shaped like our e-mail. Would you like to turn that e-mail into a song, or a video, or a conversation about songs and videos that itself contains and is made of those things? Want to juggle people coming in and out of that conversation, never quite sure to whom you're talking or whether they've been following the conversation the whole time? A static collection of videos, now that they've disabled uploading, will stand as testament to the brief time Google Video filled a need -- over a billion dollars later -- for its community. The feature will now offer automated timestamping on videos. In addition to Shorts, YouTube will roll out new monetisation features including applause, which allows viewers to buy a one-time clapping animation on a video they enjoy. I've really loved making these small YouTube shorts!
