Raleigh Video Production: The Second Largest Search Engine
When you think search engine, your thoughts are likely with our Raleigh video production team’s; they go to Google, Bing, or Yahoo. While those are all logical choices, they are overlooking one particular search engine that gets left behind. YouTube has been around for less than a decade and is considered a search engine. It has effectively become the second largest search engine in the world. Wow, right? Our thoughts exactly.
This revelation just goes to show that all our discussion about the importance of video marketing and advertising should be taken very seriously. It’s nice to know that there’s a key platform out there for all the videos being filmed and used for marketing.
According to socialmediatoday.com, “The online video sharing service, developed by a trio of former PayPal employees in February 2005, now allows users to upload, watch, and share videos to each other and to other websites, such as Facebook.
At present, the headquarters of YouTube is in San Bruno, California. It shows an extensive array of video content generated by users though HTML5 and Adobe Flash Video technologies. The typical uploaded contents are movie and TV clips, music videos, video blogs, marketing videos, educational videos, and original videos.”
What’s more, almost all videos uploaded to YouTube are by individuals, business owners and YouTube partners.
