Web 2.0 - YouTube: The Ugly

So continuing from "The Good, The Bad...". Here's

The Ugly

"Buffet lunch at millennium hotel"

This is 7 seconds of almost nonsense. A quick flash of the nice couple followed by blur to the beautiful... plate. Why bother? The text description is better than the video: "had brunch with a couple of our friends at the milenium ariport hotel in deira, Dubai UAE."

"Millennium UN Plaza New York room vid."

Alright, maybe I am being mean by labeling this as "ugly", but watching the video is like seeing things from the perspective of a near-sighted mute.

"ShangHai Drum Band on stage"

Someone caught a Jamaican band on show at the Millennium Hongqiao Shanghai. It's an excruciating 5 minutes, both the camera work and the sound quality.

"Jeff Sandler Orchestra"

A wedding singer performance at the Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago Hotel. The question is why? Why post this online at all????

The WTF!%?!? - As if the above was not bad enough, there are other more random things....

"mommy"

This is random post from a grown up guy who starts the long description with "i miss my mommy". The whole video has some kind of pink filter on the lens to make everything really pink. He saying something about working with some girl at the Millennium Hotel Stuttgart. Then getting her phone number which shows on a piece of paper. I guess this guy has some real issues with women....

Millennium Hotel
by urbananan?????

A Bunch of teenagers singing nonsense, but filmed by a cameraman with attention deficit disorder (ADD). The only title was "millennium hotel" and the description just said "sing". The poster "urbananan" is a 46 year old from Canada.

"Bachelor party"

A bunch of guys getting drunk in a hotel room. The only tag was "millennium". It was submitted by poster "sociallystunted" who lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. So I guess this "event" was at the Millennium Cincinnati.

============

So what does the above post and the one before it show? Well it is obvious that the quality of content is generally not that good. The content is random and is not content that can be used to make any kind of decisions from a consumer's perspective.

In any case, this has been fun checking out YouTube in this way. I will have to do this with TripAdvisor one of these days...
