Oprah Launches Her Own YouTube Channel
Oprah is launching her own YouTube channel. Anyone who tunes in to the queen of talk TV's program tomorrow, November 6, will get to see the official unveiling, along with guests (and YouTube co-founders) Chad Hurley and Steven Chen.
As Oprah herself states on the preview site up now, the channel will feature show excerpts, backstage footage (some of it shot by Oprah herself on the Flip Video Camera), and previews of upcoming shows.
Besides Hurley and Chen, guest stars on tomorrow's show include some of the original YouTube stars, from Tyson, the skateboarding bulldog to the "Evolution of Dance" guy.
Oprah's done a lot for books, which would seem to be a tough sell in this age of increasing Internet consumption. But technology is a touch sell for the mass majority of people, too, so we applaud Winfrey's efforts to evangelize the use of inexpensive video cameras (the aforementioned Flip) and viral video Web site phenomenons (YouTube).

Oprah, How about airing people who are about to lose their homes, due to foreclosures? I think that may covet some interest?

Hasn't Oprah stuck her hands in enough things? I think the idea for YouTube was to allow the regular, everyday person to get there 15 minutes of fame. Now Oprah has pushed her way past the little people again so everyone can say, "Oh isn't she wonderful!" Well, no, she is an egoamniac in my opinion. But wait, I am just a regular, everyday person--so that won't count!

I do not allowmy family to watch Oprah but happened to catch a glimose of her while browsing the channels. She looks fat again. What happened?

GO FOR IT OPRAH, WHY NOT GET ALL YOU CAN. ALL THE BIG WIGS ARE DOING IT, KUDOS TO YOU.

I'm sick and tired of her having to get her face into everything...just like Trump. What good will this latest venture do? I stopped watching her show ages ago because of the self-righteousness.

If you want to broadcast your own show (live streaming), use VMdirect.com/hefty to do your own one hour show. I think broadcasting is the future, and it is here now. Go Oprah!!!!

I think she is doing a good thing,but even if it only helps a few people,it,s more than anyone else has done. YOU GO GIRL"""

Having Oprah contract with YouTube is a good thing for YouTube, because it legitimizes them as a place for original content creators to publish. At the moment, the most viewed stuff on YouTube isn't people doing their own thing, it's people violating copyrights. Licensing Oprah's name will make other content owners less afraid to put their stuff on YouTube.
BTW, that Flip Video camera she's using shoots awesome video for it's under $150 price tag. I've got some sample footage you can see here:
