YouTubers to get ad money share

People who upload their own films to video-sharing website YouTube will soon get a share of the ad revenue.

YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would "reward creativity".

The system would be rolled out in a couple of months, he said, and use a mixture of adverts, including short clips shown ahead of the actual film.

YouTube has more than 70m users a month and was recently bought by Google.

The offer applies only to people who own the full copyright of the videos that they are uploading to the YouTube website.

The company, which Google bought in November last year for $1.65bn, was currently working on "audio fingerprinting" technologies to identify copyrighted material, Mr Hurley said in a session on social networking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Speaking to the BBC after the session, he declined to give further details, saying that YouTube was still working out the technology and processes involved - both for the rewards system and the video clip advertising system.

But he confirmed that the various features would be rolled out one by one over the next few months.

"There won't be one big release," he said.

The audience of the YouTube website will not have to put up with overly long "pre-roll" adverts. Mr Hurley said a clip of three seconds length was one of the options, although the details had not been worked out yet.

H- iklan ... hmm... as long as everybody happy

five minutes to midnight...

two days ago the nuclear scientist revealed the minute hand of the doomsday clock has moved two minutes closer to midnight. before, it was seven minutes to midnight.

doomsday clock?
it is a symbolic clock which shows time to destruction by nuclear war (midnight). so, this means, the closer we are to midnight, the closer we stand before nuclear war destruction. this timepiece (see pic below) was first set by the Board Director of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1947. ever since, eighteen time has the minute hand of the clock has been moved.

they said that the clock minute's hand moved two minutes because of iran and north korea's interest in enhancing their nuclear programme and most obvious of all, the climate change. europe have seen less (tiny amount) of snow this winter so far. it is already january, and yet no such wintery like weather coming their way.

how far the effect of nuclear weapon (atomic bombs as such..) bring on this climate change is not too clear so far. but we know, how huge the effect of those atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was, and we know that those big powers (we know who they are) have been testing their weaponry for years evenso..


anyway, people can destroy even themselves if they want. that's how stupid mankind could be. whatever. it is not this clock minute or second hand that should worry us. think about this world itself, those natural disaster is even more catastrophic than those power of men. if people forget how powerful God is, he'll show them all. not only for those who disbelieve, but also those believers who didn't do anything to keep this world in harmony.

~it would only be in dreams...when we see all people show their love to this world, share their love to this world, and nurture their love upon themselves~

open our eyes, speak in language of peace, may Allah protects us away from disaster. na'uzubillah...

H- happy new year 1428H to all. may you be blessed throughout this year.

The Muslim Woman "Unveiled"

by Izdehar Albowyha

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,

My body's not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allahs pleasure that I only crave,
I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,

" O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk",
Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a Law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb moutains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,
For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me!

H- May Allah protects our sisters and always keep them with us. Honestly this is one of my heavy concern as our people move in the wake of modernisations and those kind of "freedom". My dear sisters, truly you are not oppressed, not uncool, not left behind though you practiced and obeyed the rules laid upon you. May Allah gives us the strength to hold this crazy life down..

mulai Summer semester 2007 or to be exact, winter semester 2006/2007 student-student di semua university kat Jerman dah mula kena bayar yuran (studiengebuehren) sebanyak elbih kurang 500 euro satu semester. cuma di negeri kerajaan negeri mereka dari parti sosialis sahaja yang tidak dikenakan yuran.

University Albstadt-Sigmaringen seperti dalam pekeliling diatas tak menggalakkan pelajar-pelajarnya menyertai mana-mana pergerakan boikot yuran ataupun yang sewaktu dengannya.
