The practice of uploading videos online is becoming more popular everyday. I don’t think no one could have realized the impact of this industry and how user generated content could cover up the web. A lot of the popular places you can go to online now has millions of videos to look through and you can see just about anything you want from their users. Now YawpBox might have just taken the online videos we see everyday to a new level. They are creating tv shows that get filmed in Dallas, Texas in front of a live studio audience. This is the first time anybody has ever created a tv show, where the content of the show is all done by users online; that are creating these user generated videos. This is a great opportunity for people to get their 15 minutes of fame and all by just creating a video in the comforts of their home.

I got my 15 minutes of fame last year when I won a big screen television. Not only did I get a big screen television, but I had a cameraman show up at my door while it was being delivered. He filmed me receiving the television and also bobbing for peaches to win some extra cash too! You can still see that video of me doing this on one of the most popular places online to view user generated videos. Now others will be able to get their 15 minutes of fame and they will get to be on a television show! I think this is a great idea by YawpBox and I believe this will gain in popularity.

Lex and Terry will be doing the commentary of just regular people like you or me, doing things in front of a camera. YawpBox is taking this social networking thing to the television screen and I can see this being very big. I love looking at all the videos online of people singing and playing musical instruments. American Idol is a popular tv show that has amateur singers giving it their all in front of millions and millions of people. You can go to a few of these places that host these videos and see thousands and thousands of amateur singers and you will get that American Idol feel. You get to hear some really talented singers online and you get to hear some pretty bad singers, just like American Idol does!

Not trying to encourage anyone to do stunts in front of a camera, but one of the best videos I have seen online was a stunt video. I seen a guy on roller skates, skate off a two story house and into a swimming pool. It was all caught on camera and I have watched that video a few times online. It was amazing that guy didn’t get seriously hurt or paralyzed, but he survived to be a legend on all the popular video places that kids and even the adults are going to these days. So if you want to be the next star on YawpBox, please do so with your humor or talents and not the stupid stunts that some people try to get attention from.

I really think this YawpBox is going to take off. I think it has everything American Idol has and more, because it just doesn’t have to be people singing. American Idol might have their hands tied to singers, while the sky is the limit for YawpBox!

So do you feel that you’re up to the Lex and Terry Challenge? They will give out an assignment each week for people to create videos with a certain topic or theme in mind. Once they give out the assignment from their radio and tv broadcast, you can create a video for them to use. The videos will then be grouped together and you will be able to find them on their section of the page at YawpBox. This sounds like an opportunity for a lot of people to get their 15 minutes of fame from user generated videos online.
