YouTube

Example: "Have you seen the video of the dog riding a skateboard on YouTube yet?"

YouTube is a video sharing website owned by Google that allows users to watch other people's videos and publish their own. It allows both professional and amateur users to post videos, which can be viewed by anyone in the world with an Internet connection. Videos uploaded to YouTube are available at YouTube.com and may also be posted on other websites. When a YouTube video finishes playing, the user is presented with a list of related videos that he or she may find interesting. This can make watching YouTube videos an addicting hobby.
