As the Internet evolves from a single user, text based dial-up
experience to a robust broadband international multimedia community,
YouTube will scale to the heavy demands placed on it," explains Chad
Hurley, YouTube founder. "Regional events like the Bite of Seattle
in techno savvy regions like the Puget Sound provides an excellent
hands-on showcase for the public, our partners and the press. The
age of video-on-demand as well as personal broadcasting has arrived."
"We are very fortunate to be working with the best of breed in free
video sharing sites today," states JOlmsted, the online digital
Seattle Summer 2005 Events contest organizer. "The YouTube.com
management team has been a breeze to work with and their engine is
straight forward and simple for the technology challenged to
utilize."
About YouTube
YouTube is a new service that allows people to easily host and
browse personal video clips. It is clear that digital cameras with
video recording capability are quickly becoming a commodity consumer
technology. As people continue to record more personal video clips,
YouTube will fill the same need for videos that Flickr did for
digital photos. http://www.youtube.com
About the Bite Of Seattle
Running since 1982 - when the first Bite attracted 75,000 - the
event has become quite an institution on the food and drink circuit,
offering the chance to discover new world recipes and enjoy the
downright delicious grub. It moved to Seattle Center in 1986 and now
annually attracts something in the region of 450,000 over its three
days.
Hosting over 60 restaurants, the event cooks up an extraordinary set
of statistics: there are over 3.5 miles of gas pipes laid to enable
the cooking; 15 miles of electric cable; 2000 gallons of hot water
used; 175,000 pounds of ice for the 12,000 gallons of pop and -
perhaps most importantly - 365 kegs of beer!
