Recently, everyone and their mothers has been sending to everyone and everyone’s mother YouTube links.
Yeah, well I too can spend countless hours browsing for funny clips. But sending links to videos, especially with comments like “whatch this you’ll die laughing !” is unfair. It wets one’s appetite and making him/her to follow the link and waste time watching a video.
Unlike text, video requires more concentration and it’s also a very blatant distraction when one is in the office working.

I hope the YouTube craze will slow down, but I it probably wont. YouTube is much like the TV, just it’s easier to share and is also very addictive as one can endlessly zap to entirely different video clips.
Personally I’m not crazy about watching the funny clip of the day that anyone found wasting his or her time browsing around (as opposed to something that one filmed or edited personally).
However, if you really have to send some video clip, next time try to put a description, so that one isn’t forced to go watch it out of curiosity.

Let’s save everyone’s time by doing important stuff rather than spreading endless mindless video-browsing 8)
