YouTube Extends Time Limit for Videos, Gives Users a Full 15 Minutes of Fame
The days of YouTube's 10-minute upload limit are officially over, as the site has decided to give users a chance at a real 15 minutes of fame. In a recent blog post, YouTube explained that the move to extend the time limit of non-partner videos came as a response to overwhelming user demand. It was only after the site was able to better refine its ContentID copyright protection system, though, that it felt comfortable giving users an extra five minutes of face time. People who have already posted videos that were rejected for being too long can now re-upload them, but will have to delete the original versions before doing so. And, to celebrate the new policy, YouTube is offering 15 minutes of fame to any user who tags his or her video with 'yt15minutes.' After August 4th, YouTube will select a "handful" of tagged videos for spotlit display on its homepage. This is your chance, as the site says, to put your own "enduring stamp" on the Internet. So don't blow it. [From: YouTube, via: Engadget]

Can AOL do nothing about this fool's incessant, useless spam?

If you call someone a ni&&er (I don't) and someone objects, AOL will TOS your ass in a second, but it seems they can't do anything about this constant robo-spam traffic. It is a nuisance, and it always leads to malware that tries to force you to buy "anti-virus" software to get rid of it (and doesn't). It is fortunately easy to recognize, and all you have to do is ignore it... and don't bite. Who needs to see Lindsey's titties anyway?

If you've never called someone that, why would you even bring it up? Hmmm.....

I am so confused because I've seen 20 min long vids
insanityislAug 1st 2010 2:18PM
When Youtube first started out, there's was an unlimited time limit for videos. Then it changed to a 10 minute limit for users (don't know why).

YouTube partners can upload MUCH longer videos...
Michele WashamAug 2nd 2010 1:02AM
In doing research for a video portal, I learned that YouTube was spending ONE MILLION dollars a day on bandwidth! That was about a year ago and it may have been the reason they limited the time to 10 minutes for a while.

It's good. I try to upload my Biggest Loser Auditon video, but it was 11+ minutes long. Hopefully when I re-do it; it will go through.

Funny how the complaints about robo-spamming are there, but the spam itself has been removed. As for the post saying he saw 20 minute vids, those could have been partner vids like mentioned in the article.
