Raymond, if you really want to do it for your ten best friends, then password protect it. But I get the feeling that you don't want to be that closed, that you value having people outside your immediate circle of close friends seeing your videos. Maybe certain, very personal videos you could individually password protect? I, personally, feel comfortable with whoever is lurking out there watching my stuff, but I censor myself to maintain that comfort level.This is an interesting question. It's really a new thing to be able to put stuff out there for the whole world to see.I don't think there's any reason to let everyone in on your life if you dont want to.
