Youtube was started by that chinese guy who couldnt find a medium to share a video he shot at a party. So he just went ahead and made it into a social networking site, which gave birth to the podcasting boom. Looking at the numbers in the check that google gave them to buy out the company, there have been several other websites on the internet that name themselves tubes, hoping that google would buy them out too one day. As of now they are monetizing their traffic with advertisments. Everyone who has a camera to record decent videos are now podcasting on youtube. Most of the times a video would be completely worthless. You don’t get to see high quality lessons there, I have managed to see only stuff like how to enhance your cleavage or how to get a girl and stuff like that. I have seen videos about fish, but nothing so valuable in there. People just use it to pass time. Well, thats what social networking is all about isnt it. Billions of idiots blabbering bullshit.

But a person who is concentrating on his careers wouldn’t really waste time on a social networking site, but would rather do some job searches or search for video resumes that are there on youtube.

Several people who are into software companies join in Indian Multi Nationals who usually have their base in California, and flee to the US to attend to some onsite project implementation or something for quite some time. When these people go as guests to the client’s places, they are given all sorts of previlleges, like a car, a decent place to stay, top calss food, and pretty good spending money. So in the weekends, they look around the city, go travelling around, look around the whole of the US at the company’s expense, and look for some consultancy who would have a good list of San Francisco jobs in their portfolio and pass on the resumes to them, and when their project at their site is complete, they just resign the job, and with the experience in hand, just join a job right there and dont come back to India.
