YouTube ou la naissance d'une killer application

Puisqu'on en parle, l'un des fondateurs de Youtube (au nombre de 3) - Jawed Karim - revient sur la creation de la killer application qu'est devenue Youtube. En bon emule de la generation web 2.0 Jawed revient sur les exemples de Livejournal (l'ancetre des blogs dans la version actuelle), sur Friendster un site communautaire, del.icio.us (un gestionnaire de bookmarks et de tag) etc...

La force de YouTube etant d'utiliser les "technologies secondaires" (des enablers, celles qui viennent en amont et rendent possible le produit ou tout au moins en facilitent son utilisation de maniere virale).
  • le haut debit pour une visualisation plus confortable des videos
  • l'utilisation de flash pour le lecteur de videos.
  • l'email de facon a permettre aux utilisateurs de partager les videos, d'envoyer des emails a leurs contacts pour qu'ils regardent sur le site.
  • les cameras numeriques qui grace a leur democratisation sont a la base de la creation du contenu par les utilisateurs.

Du concept a l'hyper croissance, comment tout a commence. Une belle lecon d'entrepreneunariat. "There are no expert. For some thing unique and you identify the opportunity you are the expert, If they are experts why dont they make the product."

Hey ah Dieu,
pourquoi je n'ai pas aussi ce genre d'idées non, qu'on parle un peu de moi...
La vie est injuste.
Non mais je deconne. J'aime bien mon statut de noname.

Pour revenir à YouTube, pour un maniaque de l'archivage comme moi, l'absence de la fonction 'sauvegarder' qui permettrait de sauver une copie - même contre du sonnant et trébuchant, y'a pas de proe! - est un handicap assez lourd, je trouve.

There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept. Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

The Jennifer "JJ"Jareau principle In the critically acclaimed US TV Show Criminal Minds , Jennifer "JJ"Jareau a.k.a "JJ" quoted nicely her exit interview in the 2nd episode of the 6th Season.  Here's what I named it the Jennifer "JJ" Jareau principle. I'm thankful for my years spent with this family; for everything we shared, every chance we had to grow.  I'll take the best of them and lead by their example; where ever I go.  A friend told me to be honest with you, so here it goes.  This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road.  Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson, or I don't want to walk around angry.  Or maybe it's because I finally understand.  There are things we don't want to happen, but have to accept; things we don't want to know, but have to learn, and people we can't live without, but have to let go. As you can see, ...

This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. | JJ Principle (1)

Take the High Road. I am sure several ones of you have heard it before tossed at like a wisdom nugget, and have wondered "which road is that ?" or worse, should you have been too stunned or lost, your mouth merely expulsed two words "come again ?" Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion. I'll try my best to remedy to that.   So what does "Take the high road" really means ? John C. Maxwell theorized The High Road Principle gives us a good explanation by stating that there are three roads or options that we can take in life:   The low road : where we treat people worse than they treat us. The middle road : where we treat people the same as they treat us The high road : where we treat people better than they treat us Let's ponder the options set out by Mr Maxwell 1. The Low Road If treated poorly, one reaction co...
