YouTube and The Sucky Uploading Tool
Why the greatest company around repeatedly fails to fix a simple script that uploads videos is beyond me. Frankly, I see it as an embarrassment to the company. I for one know that many people have had issues with uploading videos on YouTube. It does not even require an effort to search online as I talk to people on a daily basis that have had issues. It is not the users’ fault either.
I just learned that it might be an issue with the latest flash player, but even if that is the case, I have had issues for well over a year now. I’ve even performed clean installs. It just makes no sense.
YouTube, a company that supposedly represents some of the best innovation online has never had it right with their upload tool. Ever since I first joined the site, I have had issues that just baffle me. YouTube, Google please fix this problem!

March 2nd, 2008 at 12:44 amYouTube has stopped uploading and cuts off videos about 2/3 of the way through, or displays a “failure” warning about not being in the right format!
WTF, people!
You’re about to lose marketshare, YouTube!
