Comments on: YouTube ventures into stormy, probably profitable college waters http://www.samjackson.org/college/2006/09/01/youtube-ventures-into-stormy-probably-profitable-college-waters/ all the exciting parts, none of the heavy debt burden Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:34:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Morgan http://www.samjackson.org/college/2006/09/01/youtube-ventures-into-stormy-probably-profitable-college-waters/comment-page-1/#comment-85 Morgan Mon, 11 Sep 2006 13:39:58 +0000 http://www.samjackson.org/college/2006/09/01/youtube-ventures-into-stormy-probably-profitable-college-waters/#comment-85 Colleges have been expressing interest in hosting video on services like YouTube rather than having to outsource to paid hosts or else try and roll their own. Without fail, the colleges I've seen with this desire get scared off by YouTube's public nature and ToS. This may be an attempt by YouTube to court the interests of those schools by offering a more controlled setting. (Although I'm sure the main reason is to try and grab some of the thunder from Facebook.)

It would be interesting if Facebook or some other social network tired to have restricted video sharing, but I just don't think the interest is there on YouTube for a closed network. By the way, as an incoming senior (and novice blogger!) I think this site will be part of my daily read :) Keep up the interesting work!
