SAN BRUNO, CA–(EMWNews – August 8, 2008) – YouTube, the leading online video community

that allows people to discover, watch and share originally created videos,

traditional broadcast outlets.

“The Summer Games YouTube Channel is the ideal first-stop for fans because

it provides a comprehensive view of what’s going on in Beijing,” said Steve

Grove, YouTube’s head of news and politics. “Contributing media

organizations have their fingers on the city’s pulse and they’re sharing

the action with a worldwide audience through one location on YouTube.”

Committee, Getty Images is poised to offer comprehensive coverage of the

world’s most prestigious sporting event,” said Lee Martin, senior vice

president, Sales, Europe. “YouTube’s platform enables us to share our

powerful imagery that uniquely captures the spirit of the games in Beijing

with an unprecedented global community.”

YouTube extends the life of Summer Games videos beyond an evening by

enabling people to respond to and interact with them at their own

convenience. No matter where they are in relation to Beijing, people can

view videos and use community features such as video responses, text

comments and ratings to be a part of an occurrence that unites the world.

Quote Addendum:

have finally arrived at our doorstep, we’re filming and sharing videos with

the world through YouTube.”
