Marie Digby - The shining Star (Source: Google)


Youtube has always been the word of mouth either in Malaysia, Japan, Singapore or event at the rest of the world due to the fact that it has becoming part of the life of most of the people especially the generation y. This certainly make it into something that are needed daily, thus, it will make it having some flaws other that its own advantages itself. Generally, to refresh your minds, Youtube is the ideal platform for a person to post and share their video online making sure that people will kept updating of the happenings of the people around them.

The advantages of Youtube is certainly it is viewed daily by millions of people around the world, hence, singer such as Marie Digby who posted her videos onto the Youtube will get lots of viewer and in return, she got offered a contract by a recording company which certainly make it worthwhile to post her talented videso onto Youtube (MarieDigby, 2008).

In Contrast,being able to viewed by millions of people maybe its drawbacks as well. The posting of video that have directly insulted the Thai King certainly is one of the unwanted video that being posted making Youtube not as good as it looks like initially (Jones, 2007). The post of such videos will make millions of people mad making Youtube removing all of such movies at once.

In a nutshell, Youtube has it own distintiveness and drawbacks, thus, we need to use this tool appropriately to make the best out of it rather than to vandalise it which in return we may get ourselves into hot soups.
