YouTube makes your fifteen minutes of fame 15 minutes
YouTube has decided to make it markedly easier for you to get your fifteen minutes of fame. How? By upping the time limit of uploaded YouTube clips from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Those of you who dream of posting a video of yourself singing Can’s Mother Sky into a kitchen spoon, go right ahead. YouTube’s just made your dream a reality. Here is the official word from Google:
Well, we’ve spent significant resources on creating and improving our state-of-the-art Content ID system and many other powerful tools for copyright owners. Now, all of the major U.S. movie studios, music labels and over 1,000 other global partners use Content ID to manage their content on YouTube. Because of the success of these ongoing technological efforts, we are able to increase the upload limit today.
Thanks Google.

I am so excited for this!
Well only real difference I can see is instead of a hour video being 6 10 minute videos it will be 4 15 minute videos.
Thanks for the first grade math lesson.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? 15 MINUTES ALL THE WAY!!
I can see no difference with increasing it to fifteen minutes as more videos are likely to be shorter for faster downloading time. A lot of videos uploaded use a five minute video clip than a ten minute video clip.
Now if they focused on their rediculously outlandish UMG copyright system then there would be an improvement. Removing a video for “copyright” because a user sang a cover of a song is just stupid.
I can see this being only truly useful to YouTube’s partners.
Average video before it gets tiringis 2-3 minutes. I can’t sit on YouTube for more than that for a video unless it’s a movie that I really want to see ripped into eight parts. Then it’s worth it…
thumbs up =D
