ABOUT YouTube’s Got Talent:
Let’s face it. It’s a reflection of our culture, our generation and our ideologies. We admire the overnight celebrities, “Cinderella stories”, anything representing instant success. Undoubtedly, the public has clued in on the secret to this: YouTube. Our blog and upcoming documentary explores how in the blink of an eye, YouTube has evolved from a video-sharing medium to a mass market of self-advertisement. With no geographical boundaries, no fees and no time constraints, its not just about “America‘s Got Talent” or “Britain‘s Got Talent” — it’s about how the world’s got talent. YouTube’s Got Talent.
