YouTube To Allow Long Videos
By Anna Johnson on July 1st, 2008YouTube has introduced a new policy to allow its content partners to display longer videos.
Specifically aimed at encouraging independent film makers to upload feature films, the file size of such videos may be as large as 1 gigabyte. The move seems to be aimed at keeping people on the site longer, in order for them to be exposed to more ads.
I wonder where this is headed… If the ad model works for film makers and small (and large) production houses, will we see the advent of “straight to YouTube” movies?
