It is profit-making time again for users of YouTube. The highly-popular video-sharing web community has launched its Partner Program which allows the site's most prolific users to get a share of the its advertising revenue.
Users have the option of picking the videos that they want to be displayed alongside adverts. Thus, they will have the chance of earning a part of the revenues generated by these corresponding ads.
YouTube has invited applications from its users living in Canada and the US. The scheme is all set to cater to the international market soon. After receiving applications, YouTube will pick its most dedicated community members who have been uploading original content and have managed to build a significant audience on the site.
Users who have consistently complied with the website's terms of use stand a good chance at being selected for the profit scheme. The Partner Program works on a non-exclusive agreement, allowing users to post their videos elsewhere even if they become a partner with YouTube.
Although the amount of profit payable has not been made public as yet, for users, something is definitely better than anything.

Christmas is set to bring in windfalls for web businesses world over. Since November end, online shoppers have been logging on to the Internet in unprecedented numbers and e-sales are touted to touch the magic figures of £7.4 billion by Christmas.

According to online statistics, the total amount of online sales is expected to touch £53 billion. About 62 percent people in the UK are using the web to shop for Christmas. With broadband making its way to more than 15.5 million households in the country, evening time is the highly profitable for businesses. This is because most shoppers prefer to use the web after office hours, in the comfort of their homes.
The decrease in security fears related to e-shopping has also contributed to this upsurge in sales. People are not very wary of trading online and are increasingly becoming familiar with using their credit cards without any trouble. Amazon, Play.com, Dell and Apple are reaping the biggest share of benefits from this shopping frenzy.
Happy shopping to all of us!!!

Nielsen to Foster Web Surveillance with New System
Media research giant, Nielsen, is developing a system that'll police websites for copyrighted material. Not just that, it'll also notify original site owners or content providers whenever their media material has been posted without due authorisation.
Working in collaboration with Digimarc, a digital watermarking technology provider, Nielsen is tapping its current technological expertise to come up with this system by the second quarter of 2008.
Initially, this service will be used for TV programmes, clips of which freely circulate in various user-generated content sites. According to industry researchers, most of this content is used without permission from or compensation to the copyright holder, that is, the original content provider.
This free sharing of data between peers has led to increased tension between Hollywood studios producing such programmes and Internet companies allowing such services. In fact, many studios have filed copyright infringement lawsuits against the biggest of web companies.
Hopefully, this new system will help bring down the number of such cases. As experts claim, it is not about policing the Internet, but about establishing stronger and more reliable relationships on the World Wide Web.

Internet Bullying is the Latest Cause of Concern
Step aside Internet spies and hackers... the Bullies are on their way! Parents and schools in the US are having a tough time in battling a menace called Internet bullying. Kids are using the World Wide Web to send hateful text messages, abusive emails and spread cyber gossip. And the worst part is, all this happens from the supposedly 'secure' environment of their homes.
An increasing number of children insist that they had never been bullied before, and are therefore finding it exceedingly difficult to cope up with the situation. Experts assert that the solution does not lie in banning of the Internet. Instead, parents and teachers should come together and help kids out of such situations.
When it comes to the number of kids harassed online, the latest report shows a 50 percent increase in the 10 to 17 age bracket. It also states that more than 64 percent of the victims have not faced any kind of physical or verbal aggression otherwise.
The biggest reason behind the 'success' of Internet bullying is the anonymity factor of the web. You can easily create pseudo names or email ids and use them to harass others, without risking the revelation of your true identity.
Schools in the US are taking this matter seriously and plan to come up with strategies that can keep a check on these activities. Certain cyber-building policies will also be formulated in this regard.
With the Internet getting murkier with each passing day, you never know what you will have to counter the next time round.
